Analysis of a Porous Elastic Sheet Damper With a Magnetic Fluid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In progress of anti-shock characteristics of small size precision equipment, a miniaturized damper is required to have better damping characteristics. However, damping efficiency becomes less as ...
Multiphase DMA Design Methodology Based on Graph Theory and Many-Objective Optimization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Partitioning a water distribution system (WDS) into district metered areas (DMAs) is a difficult task due to the complex WDS structure and simultaneous consideration of multiple constraints. Further, alternative metrics ...
Ultrasonic Measurement of Scleral Cross-Sectional Strains During Elevations of Intraocular Pressure: Method Validation and Initial Results in Posterior Porcine Sclera
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background. Scleral biomechanical properties may be important in the pathogenesis and progression of glaucoma. The goal of this study is to develop and validate an ultrasound method for measuring ...
Vibration Suppression of Rotating Machinery Utilizing an Automatic Ball Balancer and Discontinuous Spring Characteristics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Automatic ball balancer is a balancing device where two balls inside a hollow rotor move to optimal rest positions automatically to eliminate unbalance. As a result, vibrations are suppressed ...
Vibration Suppression of Rotating Machinery Utilizing Discontinuous Spring Characteristics (Stationary and Nonstationary Vibrations)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In rotating machinery, resonance phenomena occur with large amplitude in the vicinities of the major critical speeds. In this paper, a new vibration suppression method utilizing a discontinuous ...
Elimination of Unstable Ranges of Rotors Utilizing Discontinuous Spring Characteristics: An Asymmetrical Shaft System, an Asymmetrical Rotor System, and a Rotor System With Liquid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Unstable vibration occurs in the vicinities of the major critical speeds of asymmetrical shaft and rotor systems. It occurs also in a wide rotational speed range higher than the major critical ...
Monitoring and Analysis of Shanghai Pudong Seawall Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Local government built the monitoring project to know seawall performance and ensure its safety in Shanghai Pudong New Area. Up to now, monitoring data of some important monitoring items including tidewater level, seepage ...
Innovative Booster for Dynamic Installation of OMNI-Max Anchor in Clay: Numerical Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An innovative booster is proposed with the aim of increasing the final penetration depth of the OMNI-Max anchor in the clayey seabed with high strength gradient. The booster is attached to the tail of the OMNI-Max anchor, ...
Designs of Abrasion Resistant and Durable Concrete Pavements Made with SCMs for Cold Climates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rutting from studded tire wear is a typical pavement distress in cold climates such as that of Alaska and other northern states. Current state-of-the-art advancements in material technology and concrete pavement design ...
Hamiltonian-Based Derivation of the High-Performance Scaled-Boundary Finite-Element Method Applied to the Complex Multilayered Soil Field in Time Domain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wave propagation in a two-dimensional unbounded domain with rigid bedrock was studied. The study was based on the scaled-boundary finite-element method (SBFEM) combing the continued fraction method. The SBFEM is a novel ...
