RISMolecular Dynamics of Supercritical Water for Nuclear Data Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Canadian supercritical water-cooled reactor was selected as one of the Generation IV International Forum initiatives for reactor design. It uses supercritical light water as a coolant under operating conditions of ...
Efficient Inelasticity-Separated Finite-Element Method for Material Nonlinearity Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Material nonlinearity analyses are widely used to determine the safety of structural components or engineering structures. Although advanced computer hardware technology has considerably improved the computational performance ...
Guaranteed Continuity and Computational Improvement in SDRE Controllers for Cancer Treatment Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study provides a novel analysis and design of the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) control in cancer treatment application. The key assumption to ensure continuous SDRE controllers—in terms of the solvability ...
Wind Pressure Mitigation on Gable Roofs for Low-Rise Buildings Using Spoilers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous wind disaster investigations have indicated that the roof systems of low-rise buildings often suffer severe damage under the negative wind pressure caused by the sharp corners between the walls and the roof. ...
New Simplified Dynamic Modeling Method of Bolted Flange Joints of Launch Vehicle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The bolted flange joint is an important source of nonlinearity in dynamical analysis of launch vehicles, which will lead to both longitudinal and transversal responses simultaneously subject to transversal dynamic loads, ...
An Improved Fractional Moment Maximum Entropy Method With Polynomial Fitting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The moment method is commonly used in reliability analysis, in which the maximum entropy method (MEM) and polynomial fitting (PF) have been widely used due to their advantages in accuracy and efficiency, respectively. In ...
An MR-Safe Pneumatic Stepper Motor: Design, Control, and Characterization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide high contrast soft tissue visualization without ionizing radiation, which makes it an attractive imaging modality for interventional procedures. However, the strong magnetic and ...
Observed Relationship of Boreal Winter South Pacific Tripole SSTA with Eastern China Rainfall during the Following Boreal Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present study investigates the relationships between the December?February (DJF) South Pacific tripole (SPT) sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) pattern and the following March?May (MAM) rainfall over eastern China ...
An Adaptive Directional Boundary Sampling Method for Efficient Reliability-Based Design Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the nested optimization loop structure and time-demanding computation of structural response, the computational accuracy and cost of reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) have become a challenging issue in ...
Simplified Collapse-Prevention Evaluation for the Reserve System of Low-Ductility Steel Concentrically Braced Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low-ductility steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are widely used in buildings as a lateral resistance system in seismic regions around the world due to their high stiffness and strength. Steel CBF buildings have ...
