RISTwo-Level Consistent Secant Operators for Cyclic Loading of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two-level consistent secant operators are proposed for the nonlinear simulation of structures especially under cyclic loading. At the structural level, the quasi-Newton (Q-N) update of stiffness matrix is used to search ...
Inconstant Empathy—Interpersonal Factors That Influence the Incompleteness of User Understanding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Empathy can help designers discover and fulfill users’ latent needs in design, which can lead to better design solutions. To achieve deep user understanding, designers utilize their ability to empathize with users. However, ...
Prediction of Short-Term Photovoltaic Power Via Self-Attention-Based Deep Learning Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) is characterized by random and intermittent. As increasing popularity of PV, it makes PV power prediction increasingly significant for efficiency and stability of the power grid. At present, prediction ...
Automatic Facial Expression Analysis as a Measure of User-Designer Empathy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In human-centered product design and development, understanding the users is essential. Empathizing with the user can help designers gain deeper insights into the user experience and their needs. However, a few studies ...
Weld Seam Recognition and Tracking With Omnidirectional Wall-Climbing Robot for Spherical Tank Inspection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Weld seams of in-service pressure storage equipment, such as spherical tanks, require regular inspection to ensure safe operation. Wall-climbing robots can replace manual operations, increasing inspection efficiency and ...
Optimizing Urban Water Supply Headworks Using Probabilistic Search Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Simulation models in conjunction with synthetic multiple hydro-climate replicates provide the most realistic assessment of the performance of urban water supply headworks systems. However, optimization using such models ...
Nonlinear Control Scheme for the Levitation Module of Maglev Train
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, we investigate a nonlinear control scheme to solve the practical issues such as inner coupling, load uncertainties, and model errors in the suspension control of maglev train. By considering the levitation ...
Probabilistic Model for Long-Term Time-Dependent Compressive Strength of Concrete in Existing Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, in order to develop a novel probabilistic model for the time-dependent compressive strength of concrete for existing reinforced concrete buildings, 1923 data sets were obtained by applying a rebound hammer ...
International Roughness Index and a New Solution for Its Calculation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The international roughness index (IRI) has been one of most widely used indicators for characterizing road roughness. However, there are some issues such as the key description of IRI spread over two large reports, no ...
Investigations on the Load Capacity of Multilayer Foil Thrust Bearing Based on an Updated Complete Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The multilayer gas foil thrust bearing (MLFTB) has four layers of foil structures with each having unique configuration and function. In this article, an updated complete model of the overlapped foil layers of MLFTB is ...
