RISA Case Study of the Upwind Urbanization Influence on the Urban Heat Island Effects along the Suzhou–Wuxi Corridor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he urban heat island (UHI) effect is one of the most significant phenomena caused by urbanization. This study investigated the UHI effect in the Suzhou?Wuxi area, China, on 19?20 August 2010. Using a combination of ...
Dynamics and Control of a Novel Active Yaw Stabilizer to Enhance Vehicle Lateral Motion Stability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a novel active yaw stabilizer (AYS) system is proposed for improving vehicle lateral stability control. The introduced AYS, inspired by the recent in-wheel motor (IWM) technology, has two degrees-of-freedom ...
A Novel Active Rollover Prevention for Ground Vehicles Based on Continuous Roll Motion Detection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To enhance the performance of vehicle rollover detection and prevention, this paper proposes a novel control strategy integrating the mass-center-position (MCP) metric and the active rollover preventer (ARPer) system. The ...
Vertex-Splitting on a Diamond Origami Pattern
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A diamond origami pattern is a well-known origami pattern consisting of identical six-crease vertices. As each vertex can be modeled as a spherical 6R linkage with three degrees of freedom (DOF), the tessellated pattern ...
Urban Heat Island Mitigation Effectiveness under Extreme Heat Conditions in the Suzhou–Wuxi–Changzhou Metropolitan Area, China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCool roofs and green roofs are two important methods used to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The Weather Research and Forecasting Model was used to investigate the UHI effect and the effectiveness of ...
Tribological Evaluation of Electrical Resistance of Lubricated Contacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We report a tribo-electrochemical configuration to conduct in situ measurement of electrical conductivity and thickness of lubricating oils against friction. Results showed the non-ohmic behavior of a lubricating film in ...
Stability Regions of Vehicle Lateral Dynamics: Estimation and Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new method is proposed to estimate and analyze the vehicle lateral stability region, which provides a direct and intuitive demonstration for the safety and stability control of ground vehicles. Based on a four-wheel ...
Kinematic Study of the Original and Revised General Line Symmetric Bricard 6R Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the solutions to closure equations of the original general linesymmetric Bricard 6R linkage are derived through matrix method. Two independent linkage closures are found in the original general linesymmetric ...
Numerical Methods for Simulating the Reduction of Iron Ore in Blast Furnace Shaft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The blast furnace process is a countercurrent moving bed chemical reactor to reduce iron oxides to iron, which involves complex transport phenomena and chemical reactions. The iron ore and coke are alternatively charged ...
