RISDiscontinuous Dependency of Plate Strain Energy on Boundary Contour
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This note shows that the strain energy of a plate suffers a finite jump when the boundary contour of the plate is subject to a change, however small, from a smooth curve to a piecewise linear curve, if either the displacement ...
Constitutive Model for Thermo–Hydro–Mechanical Behaviors of Saturated Partially Frozen Cohesionless Soils: A Theoretical Pore-Scale Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The thermo–hydro–mechanical (THM) behaviors of frozen soils are often modeled based on the thermodynamic fluxes of moisture and heat. However, existing models disregard the pore-scale granular interaction between the soil ...
Passive Deformations and Active Motions of Leukocytes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to review the development of continuum mechanics models of single leukocytes in both passive deformations and active motions and to indicate some future directions. ...
Contribution of Gaussian Curvature to Strain Energy of Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is shown that when a plate with a smooth boundary, on every point of which either the displacement or slope is zero, there is, in general, a contribution to the flexural strain energy from the Gaussian curvature term. ...
A 3D Compressible Flow Model for Weak Rotating Waves in Vaneless Diffusers—Part I: The Model and Mach Number Effects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional compressible flow model is presented to study the occurrence of weak rotating waves in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressors. The diffuser considered has two parallel ...
A 3D Compressible Flow Model for Weak Rotating Waves in Vaneless Diffusers—Part II: Detailed Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A 3D compressible flow model was presented in Part I of the paper to study the occurrence of weak rotating waves in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressors. In this paper, detailed ...
Thermo-Mechanical Responses of a Surface-Coupled AFM Cantilever
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely used for measuring mechanical properties of biological specimens such as cells, DNA, and proteins. This is usually done by monitoring deformations ...
One-Dimensional Steady Continuum Model of Retraction of Pseudopod in Leukocytes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A one-dimensional steady state continuum mechanics model of retraction of pseudopod in leukocytes is developed. The retracting pseudopod is assumed to move bodily toward the main cell body, the ...
Environmental Dependence of Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Crystal Precipitations: Experimental Evidence and Insights
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a nature-based and eco-friendly technique that has presented promising applications in various disciplines. Despite the extensive amounts of prior studies about ...
Investigation of Thermally and Mechanically Balanced Structural Design of Insulated Pavements for Cold Region Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Adding an insulation layer above the frost-susceptible layer in regular pavement structures was proved to be an efficient way to mitigate the influence of climates, such as frost heave and thaw weakening, on pavements in ...
