Wastewater Criteria for Irrigation in Arid Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With rapid growth of agriculture coupled with increasing population and urbanization, the demand for water in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is continually on the increase, causing alarming drawdown in the deep aquifers, the ...
Elastic Brittle Damage Model of Ni-YSZ and Predicted Stress–Strain Relations as a Function of Temperature and Porosity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) is the most widely used material for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes. Anode-supported SOFCs rely on the anode to provide mechanical strength to the ...
A Novel Theoretical Framework for the Dynamic Stability Analysis, Movement Control, and Trajectory Generation in a Multisegment Biomechanical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We consider a simplified characterization of the postural control system that embraces two broad components: one representing the musculoskeletal dynamics in the sagittal plane and the other ...
Failure of an Earth Dam: A Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the semi‐arid zones, seasonal variations in temperature and moisture content are extensive. This may induce severe cracking of the core of an earth dam, particularly in places where the soil is poorly compacted. The ...
Stabilizing PID Controllers for a Single-Link Biomechanical Model with Position, Velocity, and Force Feedback
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we address the problem of PID stabilization of a single-link inverted pendulum-based biomechanical model with force feedback, two levels of position and velocity feedback, and with ...
3D Bipedal Model With Holonomic Constraints for the Decoupled Optimal Controller Design of the Biomechanical Sit-to-Stand Maneuver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Human voluntary movements are complex physical phenomena due to the complex control mechanism for coordination of limbs in the presence of physiological constraints. In this study, we propose a ...
Evaluation of High Strain Rate Characteristics of Metallic Sandwich Specimens
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An attempt is made to investigate the dynamic compressive response of multilayered specimens in bilayered and trilayered configurations, using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and finite element analysis. Two constituent ...
Closure to “<i>Failure of an Earth Dam: A Case Study</i>” by Iqbal H. Khan (February, 1983)
