RISWave Propagation in Sandwich Structures With Multiresonators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new sandwich beam with embedded multiresonators is presented. Two continuum Timoshenko beam models are adopted for modeling sandwich beams. Numerical results show that multiple resonators can lead to multiple resonanttype ...
Erratum: “Response Sensitivity and Its Assessment of Nonlinear Vibration Using Lateral–Torsional Coupling Model of Vehicle Transmission System†[Journal of Vibration Acoustics, 2015, 137(3), p. 031013; DOI: 10.1115/1.4029416]

Hybrid C- and L-Moment–Based Hermite Transformation Models for Non-Gaussian Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The moment-based Hermite transformation models are widely used in extreme-value prediction and fatigue estimation of non-Gaussian processes. However, when only higher-order ordinary central moments (C-moments) are involved ...
Centrifuge Modeling of a Constructed Reservoir Embankment: Antiliquefaction Performance Improvement Using Nanoparticles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Antiliquefaction performance improvement for developed sites beneath existing structures has drawn increasing public attention to meet stricter requirements of seismic protection. Liquefaction mitigation using nanoparticles ...
Elastic Wave Band Structures and Defect States in a Periodically Corrugated Piezoelectric Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The band structures of shear horizontal (SH) waves in a periodically corrugated piezoelectric plate (PCPP) are studied by using the supercell plane wave expansion (SCPWE) method. The effect of plate symmetry on the defect ...
Tuning Band Structures of Two Dimensional Phononic Crystals With Biasing Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The control of band structures of 2D phononic crystals (PCs) composed of piezoelectric inclusions and elastic isotropic matrix with mechanical/electrical biasing fields is theoretically investigated. The theory for small ...
The Potential of Vegetation in Reducing Summer Cooling Loads in Residential Buildings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential of trees and other vegetation to reduce building cooling loads has been recorded in a number of studies but the meso- and microclimate changes producing such savings are not well understood. This paper describes ...
Variations in Precipitation across the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Southern Ocean lies beneath a unique region of the global atmosphere with minimal effects of land masses on the zonal flow. The absence of land masses also means that in situ observations of precipitation are limited ...
An Analytic Model for Skin Modulus Measurement Via Conformal Piezoelectric Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Young's modulus of human skin is of great interests to dermatology, cutaneous pathology, and cosmetic industry. A wearable, ultrathin, and stretchable device provides a noninvasive approach to measure the Young's modulus ...
Secondary Flow and Entropy Generation of Laminar Mixed Convection in the Entrance Region of a Horizontal Square Duct
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow structure, heat transfer, and entropy generation characteristics in the entrance region of mixed convection under the effect of transverse buoyancy force are investigated numerically. Results are obtained for ...
