RISOn the Design of Spring-Actuated Mechanism for 69KV SF6 Gas Insulated Circuit Breaker
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies the design of a spring-actuated mechanism of 69KV SF6 Gas insulated circuit breakers. The creative mechanism design method is first used to synthesize all the feasible ...
Experimental and Simulation Studies on the Mechanical Performance of T-Girder Bridge Strengthened with Transverse Connection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a new method is proposed for the strengthening of a T-girder bridge with a transverse connection. The proposed connection consists of a top plate, two diagonal braces, one horizontal brace, and two brackets. ...
Soft Computing Applications in Infrastructure Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Infrastructure management decisions, such as condition assessment, performance prediction, needs analysis, prioritization, and optimization are often based on data that is uncertain, ambiguous, and incomplete and incorporate ...
Transient Hygrothermal Stresses Induced in Two-Dimensional Problems by Nonlinear Theory of Coupled Heat and Moisture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: According to some experimental data, the value of moisture diffusivity for composite and porous materials is strongly dependent on temperature. Therefore, if the temperature variation of the ...
Generalized Coupled Transient Thermoelastic Plane Problems by Laplace Transform/Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A general finite-element model is proposed to deal with dynamic theromelastic problems especially with longer transient period. The method consists of formulating and solving the problem in the ...
Optothermal Modeling of Plasmonic Nanofocusing Structures With Nonlocal Optical Response and Ballistic Heat Transport
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanoscale optical energy focusing using plasmonic structures is crucial for many applications, such as imaging and lithography. Thermal management for these nanostructures is of great importance to maintain their reliabilities ...
Dynamic Compressive Behavior of 10-Year-Old Concrete Cores after Exposure to High Temperatures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In fires, concrete structures sometimes suffer blasting loads. This paper investigated the effect of high temperature on the dynamic mechanical properties of concrete. The specimens were cored from 10-year-old concrete ...
A Foil-Based Additive Manufacturing Technology for Metal Parts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the method, system setup, and procedure of a new additive manufacturing (AM) technology for manufacturing three-dimensional (3D) metal parts are introduced. Instead of using metal powders as in most commercial ...
Size Effects on the Mechanical Properties of 3D Printed Plaster and PLA Parts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: It is common to perform small-scale prototyping before large-scale application of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology and in this case size effects can have an important effect. There has been limited study to date ...
Structural Behavior and Load Distribution Factor of a T-Girder Bridge with Various Truss Diaphragms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A diaphragm is an essential component of a T-girder bridge. Evaluating the influence of various truss diaphragms (TDs) on the structural behavior and load distribution factor of T-girder bridges assists in bridge design ...
