Deformation of Pores in Viscoplastic Soil Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Changes in soil pore volume and shape in response to internal and external mechanical stresses alter key soil hydrologic and transport properties. The extent of these changes is dependent on details of pore shape and size ...
Effects of Spatially Variable Intake on Surface Irrigation Advance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rational evaluation of surface irrigation systems should consider the effects of spatial variations in soil intake properties on advance trajectories and on the uniformity of infiltrated depths. The objective was to quantify ...
Analytical Description of Meshing of Constant Pressure Angle Teeth Profiles on a Variable Radius Gear and its Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for determining the profile of the gear teeth on a variable radius wheel characterized by a constant pressure angle. The method can generate special gears using ...
Marginal Ice Zone Thickness and Extent due to Wave Radiation Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOcean surface wave radiation stress represents the flux of momentum due to the waves. When waves are dissipated or reflected by sea ice, that momentum is absorbed or reflected, resulting in a horizontal forcing ...
Characterization of Steel Wire– and Carbon/Glass Hybrid Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Bars in Compression
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper reports on the compressive properties of a new steel wire– and carbon/glass hybrid fiber–reinforced polymer (S-CG HFRP) bar. The influence of the carbon and glass fiber volume proportion (Vc/Vg), steel wire ...
Open Channel Flow Over Submerged Obstructions: An Experimental and Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports on experimental and computational investigations of water flow over two-dimensional obstacles in an open channel. Both triangular and semi-circular obstacles are considered in ...
Modeling and Analysis of Aggregate Production Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a special purpose simulation tool developed for the aggregate processing industry called CRUISER. Special purpose tools offer an alternative to general purpose simulators, which are generally difficult ...
Expansion and Improvement of the Israeli Geoid Model by Shipborne GNSS Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modeling the Dynamics of the North Water Polynya Ice Bridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The North Water polynya, the largest polynya in the world, forms annually and recurrently in Smith Sound in northern Baffin Bay. Its formation is governed in part by the formation of an ice bridge in the narrow channel of ...
Integrating Document Management with Project and Company Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Electronic document management (EDM) systems have revolutionized the construction document storage and retrieval process. An electronically managed document consists of a computer representation of the main document body, ...
