RISMathematical Analysis of Stability and Drift Behavior of Hydraulic Cylinders Driven by a Servovalve
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydraulic cylinders are commonly used and many works deal with modeling and control of such devices. This article deals with the stability properties of hydraulic cylinders drift in various ...

Thermal Buckling Behavior of Open Cylindrical Oil Storage Tanks under Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the computational results of an investigation of oil storage tanks with the shape of an open cylindrical shell under thermal loads induced by fire. Interest in this problem has arisen as a consequence ...
Does Compatibility of Personality Affect Productivity? Exploratory Study with Construction Crews
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Crew productivity is a function of how efficiently labor is utilized in the construction process. However, previous research in construction has not comprehensively investigated the relationship between personality and ...
Ground Response to Dynamic Compaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field measurements from over 120 sites have been collected to study current practice and determine if similarities exist in the response of the ground to site improvement by dynamic compaction. Data were obtained from ...
Estimating Stream Temperature from Air Temperature: Implications for Future Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines the air temperature/stream temperature relationship at a geographically diverse set of streams. We evaluate the general temperature relationships (both linear and nonlinear) that apply to these streams, ...
The Sensitivity of Surface Fluxes to Soil Water Content in Three Land Surface Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evaporative fraction (EF; the ratio of latent heat flux to the sum of the latent plus sensible heat fluxes) can be measured in the field to an accuracy of about 10%. In this modeling study, the authors try to determine to ...
The Harmonic Constant Datum Method: Options for Overcoming Datum Discontinuities at Mixed–Diurnal Tidal Transitions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The harmonic constant datum (HCD) method is a computationally efficient way of estimating tidal datums relative to mean sea level, without the need to compute long time series. However, datum discontinuities can occur ...
Effects of Tides on Maximum Tsunami Wave Heights: Probability Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical study was carried out to understand how the probability distribution for maximum wave heights (?m) during tsunamis depends on the initial tsunami amplitude (A) and the tides. It was assumed that the total ...
Three-Dimensional Benchmark Problems for Design by Advanced Analysis: Impact of Twist
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design codes for steel structures continue to provide additional opportunities for the use of more advanced methods of nonlinear analysis. As the complexity of the analysis increases, it becomes more important for the ...
