RISSpatiotemporal Vulnerability Analysis of Large-Scale Infrastructure Systems under Cascading Failures: Case of Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large-scale water distribution networks (WDNs) are vulnerable to internal faults and external attacks. When exposed to various types of natural or artificial disasters, a glitch may trigger cascading failures and even ...
Synthesis, Mobility, and Multifurcation of Deployable Polyhedral Mechanisms With Radially Reciprocating Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extending the method coined virtualcenterbased (VCB) for synthesizing a group of deployable platonic mechanisms with radially reciprocating motion by implanting dualplanesymmetric 8bar linkages into the platonic polyhedron ...
Improved Form-Finding of Tensegrity Structures Using Blocks of Symmetry-Adapted Force Density Matrix
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Form-finding analysis is very important for developing innovative tensegrity structures. Nevertheless, it is frequently difficult to determine simultaneously the prestress mode and the exact nodal coordinates for a given ...
Automatic and Exact Symmetry Recognition of Structures Exhibiting High-Order Symmetries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Symmetry analysis is common and important, and the involved symmetry is in general self evident or manually recognized. However, for a structure with high-order symmetry or complex geometry, it becomes very difficult to ...
A New Apparatus for Monitoring Sea Ice Thickness Based on the Magnetostrictive-Delay-Line Principle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-precision ice thickness observations are required to gain a better understanding of ocean?ice?atmosphere interactions and to validate numerical sea ice models. A new apparatus for monitoring sea ice and snow thickness ...
Study on Model Evolution Method Based on the Hybrid Modeling Technology With Support Vector Machine for an SOFC-GT System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanism models of solid oxide fuel cell–gas turbine (SOFC-GT) systems are very useful to analyze the thermodynamic performance details, including the internal complex transfers of mass, heat, and electrochemical ...
An Integrated Geometric-Graph-Theoretic Approach to Representing Origami Structures and Their Corresponding Truss Frameworks
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origami has provided various interesting applications in science and engineering. Appropriate representations and evaluation on crease patterns play an important role in developing an innovative origami structure with ...
A Scenario-Driven Fault-Control Decision Support Model for Disaster Preparedness Using Case-Based Reasoning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To reduce disaster response failures, controlling disaster preparedness faults is essential. Emergency management departments should analyze the lack of capability as soon as an early warning is released and make adaptive ...
Radar-Based Bayesian Estimation of Ice Crystal Growth Parameters within a Microphysical Model
