Laminar Film Condensation on a Nanosphere
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work investigates an analytical study on the problem of laminar film condensation on a nanosphere. Due to the microscale interaction, the problem is analyzed by taking into account the effects of slip in velocity ...
San Jacinto Monument: New Soil Data and Analysis Including Subsidence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The San Jacinto Monument was built in 1936 to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the battlefield victory that gave Texas its freedom. Ray Dawson was in charge of the foundation design and decided to instrument the ...
Complex Stiffness Gradient Estimation of Field-Aged Asphalt Concrete Layers Using the Direct Tension Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The characterization of viscoelastic properties of the aged field asphalt mixtures has been a challenge for pavement engineers. Instead of characterizing full mixtures from the field cores, only the binder was extracted ...
New Methodology to Find the Healing and Fracture Properties of Asphalt Mixes Using Overlay Tester
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt layers under different repeated loading and rest periods experience both fatigue and healing processes. The tests are costly and time consuming and the results are highly variable. Current methods of evaluating ...
