RISDesign and Experimental Validation of a Large-Displacement Constant-Force Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a passive large-displacement constant-force mechanism (CFM). Unlike previous studies, without using extra stiffness-compensation components and active control ...
Design and Experimental Validation of Two Cam-Based Force Regulation Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design and experimental validation of two force regulation mechanisms (FRMs) containing a translational cam and a rotational cam, respectively. With the friction-considered profile identification ...
Water Masses in the Pacific in CCSM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An examination of model water masses in the North Pacific Ocean is performed in the Community Climate System version 3 (CCSM3) and its ocean-only counterpart. While the surface properties of the ocean are well represented ...
A Comprehensive Study of Vibration Signals for a Thin Shell Structure Using Enhanced Independent Component Analysis and Experimental Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vibration source information (source number, source waveforms, and source contributions) of gears, bearings, motors, and shafts is very important for machinery condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and especially vibration ...
Relationships between Heat Fluxes and Temperature Gradients in a Global Spectral Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two conceptual paradigms have been used in the past to interpret the observed strength and structure of eddy heat fluxes in the atmosphere. One is the idea of ?adjustment,? whereby the eddies respond efficiently to changes ...
Level‐of‐Service Analysis of Toll Plazas on Freeway Main Lines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Toll collection on freeway main lines can have serious repercussions on freeway operation and management. There are currently no suitable methodologies for level‐of‐service analysis of main‐line toll plazas. To bridge this ...
Total Focusing Method or Phased Array Technique: Which Detection Technique Is Better for the Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing of Concrete?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete is a composite material composed mainly of water, sand, aggregate, and cement. The characteristics of high attenuation of concrete for ultrasound degrade the performance of ultrasonic testing (UT), especially when ...
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in CMIP5 Models: RCP and Historical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) simulated by 10 models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) for the historical (1850?2005) and future climate is examined. The historical ...
Modeling and Design of Air Vane Motors for Minimal Torque Ripples
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the analysis and design of a novel air vane motor. Air motors have a very high specific power. They require compressed air rather than electricity to produce motion; thus, ...
Rainfall Retrieval and Nowcasting Based on Multispectral Satellite Images. Part I: Retrieval Study on Daytime 10-Minute Rain Rate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study develops a method for both precipitation area and intensity retrievals based on multispectral geostationary satellite images. This method can be applied to continuous observation of large-scale precipitation so ...
