A New Method for Calculation of the Position of Separation Points in Two-Dimensional Flow Around Bodies at High Reynolds Number
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for analysis of separated flow about bluff bodies is presented. The emphasis is on boundary layer calculations and the determination of separation points. The wake flow in this project ...
Numerical Simulation of Nonlinear Wave Diffraction by a Vertical Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional time domain approach is used to study nonlinear wave diffraction by a fixed, vertical circular-cylinder that extends to the sea floor. In this approach, the development of ...
A Low Sensitivity, Modern Approach to the Longitudinal Control of Automated Transit Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Modern control and estimation techniques are applied to the design of longitudinal controllers for automated transit vehicles. The sensitivity of dynamic response to changes in vehicle parameters ...
Antiplane Strain Problems of an Elliptic Inclusion in an Anisotropic Medium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The antiplane strain problem of an elliptic inclusion in an anisotropic medium with one plane of symmetry is solved. Explicit expressions of compact form are obtained for the elastic field ...
Investigation of the One-Dimensional Endochronic Constitutive Equation for Metals by the Rivlin Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two sets of experiments with and without strain cycling have been carried out to test the validity of an equation derived from the improved theory of endochronic plasticity. It has been found ...
On the Influence of Strain-Path in Multiaxial Fatigue Failure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A set of strain-controlled experiments has been performed on tubular specimens of annealed stainless steel. The strain-paths are designed to highlight the characteristics of path-dependence in the ...
Signal Shaping of Fluid Transmission Lines Using Parallel Branching
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of fluid transmission lines with a parallel branching line are analyzed in both time and frequency domains using modal approximation techniques which enable us to use ...
An Analysis of Sketching Skill and Its Role in Early Stage Engineering Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of sketching in design cognition, particularly in the early stages of engineering design. The goal of this preliminary study is to consider the ...
Dissipative Modal Approximation of Fluid Transmission Lines Using Linear Friction Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For both hydraulic and pneumatic transmission lines, analytical dissipative modal approximation techniques, which take into account the frequency dependent viscosity and heat transfer effects, are ...
Buckling Analysis of Thick-Walled Composite Pipe Under Torsion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Composite pipes have been utilized in the petrochemical industries where corrosion resistance and light weight are important. There is a need to calculate the buckling load for the pipe under ...
