RISWheel Wear Predictions for Tangent Track Running
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wear of wheels and rails is a problem of substantial magnitude for railways throughout the world. Efforts to control wear by using new wheels profiled to match worn wheels have met with a ...
Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Shells with Transverse Shear Forces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research investigates the simultaneous effect of in-plane and transverse loads in reinforced concrete shells. The infinitesimal shell element is divided into layers (with triaxial behavior) that are analyzed according ...
Behavior and Wear of Check Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Since check valves are often installed and forgotten, some guidance is needed for their installation so that maintenance can be minimized and scheduled. A study of their behavior over a wide ...
Augmented and Virtual Reality in Construction: Drivers and Limitations for Industry Adoption
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Augmented and virtual reality have the potential to provide a step-change in productivity in the construction sector; however, the level of adoption is very low. This paper presents a systematic study of the factors that ...
The PhysioCam: Cardiac Pulse, Continuously Monitored by a Color Video Camera1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Big Data Analytics System for Costing Power Transmission Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Inaccurate cost estimates have significant impacts on the final cost of power transmission projects and erode profits. Methods for cost estimation have been investigated thoroughly, but they are not used widely in practice. ...
Generalized Static Energy and Its Conservation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theoretical study presented here shows that it is possible to define an energetic parameter that generalizes the dry, saturated, and moist static energies. The properties of the generalized static energy (GSE) are ...
LunarVader: Development and Testing of Lunar Drill in Vacuum Chamber and in Lunar Analog Site of Antarctica
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Future exploration of the Moon will require access to the subsurface and acquisition of samples for scientific analysis and ground truthing of water-ice and mineral reserves for in situ resource utilization purposes. The ...
An Objective Forecasting Model for the Daily Outbreak of Forest Fires Based on Meteorological Considerations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily fire risk (DFR) is a forecasting index defined on the basis of two meteorological parameters. Such parameters are associated with the local atmospheric column: dry stability e in 850?700-hPa layer and saturation ...
Effect of Active Plastic Fine Fraction on Undrained Behavior of Binary Granular Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mechanical behavior of binary granular mixtures strongly depends on their initial packing density, stress level, fine content, particle size distribution, mineralogy, and shape. This research aims to investigate the ...
