RISPulsed NMR Measurements of Unfrozen Water Content in Partially Frozen Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Unfrozen water is a critical component of frozen soil that determines its thermal and mechanical behavior and affects engineering structures during freeze–thaw cycles. Here, pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance was used to ...
Efficient Cellular Automata Method for Heat Transfer in Tumor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetic interstitial hyperthermia is a hopeful treatment method for tumor. Before treatment, the tumor would be embedded with a number of ferromagnetic seeds, which can produce energy under an alternating magnetic field. ...
Three-Dimensional Modeling of Sediment and Phosphorus Dynamics in Lake Okeechobee, Florida: Spring 1989 Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lake Okeechobee is a large and shallow freshwater body in south Florida. Due to the shallowness of Lake Okeechobee, the nutrient dynamics are strongly influenced by hydrodynamic processes (circulation and wind-induced ...
Modeling, Experimentation, and Simulation of an Air-Over-Hydraulic Brake System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the development and validation of an analytical dynamic model of an air-over-hydraulic (AOH) brake system that is widely used on loaders. The AOH system is broken into ...
Quantifying High Temperature–Induced Breakage Instant of Prestressing High-Strength Steel Wire
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The danger of high-strength steel wire (HSSW) under high temperatures is twofold. One is the significant degradation of the material properties of high-strength steel (HSS), which has been extensively studied. The other, ...
Susceptibility Assessments and Validations of Debris-Flow Events in Meizoseismal Areas: Case Study in China’s Longxi River Watershed
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake triggered tens of thousands of landslides, resulting in rich loose materials for the 8.13 debris flows. Longchi Town in southwest China’s Sichuan Province was one of the worst hit areas both ...
GIS-Based Landslide Susceptibility Analyses: Case Studies at Different Scales
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Landslide hazards occur throughout the world. There were 18,000 deaths worldwide due to landslides between 1998 and 2017 (World Health Origination, n.d.). Furthermore, landslides are often triggered by other newsworthy ...
Thermal Behavior in Cross-Passage Construction during Artificial Ground Freezing: Case of Harbin Metro Line
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The successful construction of cross passages in water-rich sand strata requires the ground reinforcement of soil in passage zones. To address these conditions, artificial ground freezing was introduced, which is an ...
Cooling High-Speed Railway Slab Tracks with Solar Reflective Coatings: A Feasibility Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The slab track temperature is significant with respect to the safety of the vehicle. The objective of this study was to investigate the cooling effects of solar reflective coatings (SRCs) on slab tracks. Two types of ...
Determining Strain Threshold Values for Bridge Condition Assessment Using Normal Mixture Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) enables bridge owners to evaluate bridge conditions efficiently and accurately. When implementing SHM, a popular method to detect the abnormal response of a structure is statistical pattern ...
