Abstract: This paper presents a method to evaluate the operational effects of managed lane policies—vehicle eligibility, access control, pricing, and the number of managed lanes—that form a policy combination set. Two macroscopic ...

Abstract: The present investigation focused on the estimation of the parameters of a structural model to represent “at best” a set of measurements of the steady state response of a mistuned bladed disk. ...

Abstract: A mixed lubrication model is developed to investigate the lubrication of coupled journal-thrust-bearing systems. The governing equations are mapped into a computational domain with a conformal ...

Abstract: A building lifecycle consists of multiple domains, and building information modeling (BIM) applications involve cross-domain knowledge exchange. In the knowledge spiral theory proposed by Nonaka, externalization facilitates ...

Abstract: A compliance operator is often utilized to evaluate the elastic displacement of surfaces in the simulation of transient and steady-state elastohydrodynamic lubrication of conformal-contact systems. ...

Abstract: Modifying the surface topography of tribological interfaces has the potential to improve the friction performance of certain mechanical components that experience sliding contact. Vibromechanical ...
