RISTransient Dynamic Analysis of Rotors Using SMAC Techniques: Part 1, Formulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new method is introduced for performing transient dynamic analysis of rotor systems using a Successive Merging and Condensation (SMAC) technique. This approach can be applied to rotor analysis ...
Transient Dynamic Analysis of Rotors Using SMAC Techniques: Part 2, Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new method for performing transient time-domain analysis of rotor systems using a Successive Merging and Condensation (SMAC) technique was introduced in Part 1. This approach can be applied ...
Modeling of Facet Articulation as a Nonlinear Moving Contact Problem: Sensitivity Study on Lumbar Facet Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A finite element (FE) based scheme for modeling facet articulation in a spinal motion segment is proposed. The algorithm presented models the facet articulation as a nonlinear progressive contact ...
Optimizing Locations for Chlorine Booster Stations in Small Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, an index-based approach is proposed to locate chlorine booster stations in a water distribution network (DN). Chlorination is a common practice for secondary disinfection, essential for protection against ...
Contribution of Neural Networks for Modeling Trihalomethanes Occurrence in Drinking Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of chlorination by-products such as trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water has become an issue of particular concern for utility managers. Modeling THM occurrence in water may be a valuable tool for decision ...
Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity in Nanoscale Layered Oxides
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cross-plane thermal conductivity of several nanoscale layered oxides SiO2/Y2O3, SiO2/Cr2O3, and SiO2/Al2O3, synthesized by e-beam evaporation was measured in the range from 30 K to 300 K by ...
Delayed Strains and Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete with Waste Filler of Bituminous Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The valorization of residue from industrial processes for their use as components of other materials is seen as a highly effective solution for environmental problems associated with the building industry. The manufacture ...
Performance Assessment Framework for Small Water Systems: Case Study in British Columbia
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents a performance assessment of small water systems (SWSs) through the lens of drinking water quality management. The performance assessment is based on five criteria: treatment and disinfection; water ...
Origin–Destination Matrix Estimation and Prediction from Socioeconomic Variables Using Automatic Feature Selection Procedure-Based Machine Learning Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The origin–destination (OD) demand matrix plays an essential role in travel modeling and transport planning. Traditional OD matrices are estimated from expensive and laborious traffic counts and surveys. Accordingly, this ...
Cost-Benefit Analysis Based on Referendum CV: Dealing with Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An interesting and potentially important, but little appreciated, result of the use of dichotomous-choice contingent valuation (CV) techniques is that there are about a dozen ways to deal econometrically with the data on ...
