Assessment of Near-Field Strong Ground Motion Effects on Offshore Wind Turbines Resting on Liquefiable Soils Using Fully Coupled Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Design and construction of offshore wind turbines (OWT) in near-fault sites is more in demand worldwide. However, very limited studies are available that assess the effects of near-field ground motions on the response of ...
Application of Turbine Torsional Oscillation Damping Controller to Static Var Compensator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a new auxiliary turbine torsional oscillation damping controller (TTODC) for static var compensator (SVC) to dampen out subsynchronous oscillations in power systems containing series compensated ...
Dynamic Characterization of Sand Stabilized with Cement and RHA and Reinforced with Polypropylene Fiber
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces rice husk ash (RHA) as an acceptable replacement for cement in the chemical stabilization of sand, with economic and environmental benefits. Unconfined compression strength (UCS), bender element (BE), ...
Accurate Registration of Point Clouds of Damaged Aeroengine Blades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method for aligning the scanned point clouds of damaged blades with their nominal computer-aided design (CAD) model. To inspect a damaged blade, the blade surface is scanned and the scan data ...
Heat Transfer Control Around an Obstacle by Using Ribs in the Downstream Region
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of the presence of a rib on the local heat transfer around an obstacle using liquid crystal technique. An obstacle with a rectangular cross section is placed in a channel and attached to ...
Impedance Functions for Surface Rigid Rectangular Foundations on Transversely Isotropic Multilayer Half Spaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A horizontally multilayered Green elastic transversely isotropic halfspace is considered as the domain of the boundary value problem involved in this paper, such that the axes of material symmetry of different layers are ...
Interfacial Thermal Stresses in Trilayer Assemblies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two-dimensional model has been developed for the interfacial thermal stresses in short and long trilayer assemblies under both plane stress and plane strain conditions. Interfacial stresses are ...
Bond Behavior of CFRP Sheets Attached to Concrete through EBR and EBROG Joints Subject to Mixed-Mode I/II Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The bond behavior of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to concrete surface subject to mixed-mode I/II loading through single lap-shear tests is assessed. A 63 concrete prism specimens of 150×150×330 mm ...
Dynamic Compaction of Clays: Numerical Study Based on the Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study of the dynamic compaction (DC) process, based on the finite element method, with the main attention on the role of water content on the soil response. Dynamic compaction is one of the ...
