Bouyancy Effect on Forced Convection in Vertical Tubes at High Reynolds Numbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The complex interaction of forced and natural convections depends on flow regime and flow direction. Aiding flow occurs when both driving forces act in the same direction (heating upflow fluid ...
Acoustic Emission Characteristics and Damage Evolution Model of Steel Strands in Tensile Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conventional non-destructive methods cannot dynamically monitor the steel strands damage evolution process, so acoustic emission technique was proposed to monitor the damage. Experiments on acoustic emission characteristics ...
Limit Load Carrying Capacity of Two-Way Slabs with Two Edges Clamped and Two Edges Simply Supported in Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents test results of temperature distribution, central vertical deflection, and edge horizontal deflection of a two-way concrete slab with two edges clamped and two edges simply supported in fire. On the ...
Structural Topology Optimization Through Explicit Boundary Evolution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional topology optimization is usually carried out with approaches where structural boundaries are represented in an implicit way. The aim of the present paper is to develop a topology optimization framework where ...
Nonlinear Vibration of Orthotropic Rectangular Membrane Structures Including Modal Coupling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The membrane structure has been applied throughout different fields such as civil engineering, biology, and aeronautics, among others. In many applications, large deflections negate linearizing assumptions, and linear modes ...
Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer Process of Viscoelastic Fluid Flow at High Weissenberg Number by Log-Conformation Reformulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Viscoelastic fluids are now becoming promising candidates of microheat exchangers’ working medium due to the occurrence of elastic instability and turbulence at microscale. This paper developed a sound solver for the heat ...
Application of the Multigrid Data Assimilation Scheme to the China Seas’ Temperature Forecast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Correlation scales have been used in the traditional scheme of three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) to estimate the background (or first guess) error covariance matrix (the ? matrix in brief) for the ...
Behavior of Sway Two-Bay, Two-Story Composite Steel Frames in Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The experimental results of three full-scale two-story, two-bay, composite steel frames under furnace loading are described briefly. During tests, the composite beams and steel columns were exposed to fire, and only the ...
Detecting the Characteristics of the Spatial Patterns of Trees Adjacent to Buildings within Changed Settlements of Farmers in Shanghai, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban sprawl has resulted in numerous land-lost farmers who must relocate from villages to residential quarters. The spatial landscapes of new homelands have profoundly changed, which is necessary for the succession of ...
Behavior of Sway Two-Bay, Two-Story Composite Steel Frames in Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The experimental results of three full-scale two-story, two-bay, composite steel frames under furnace loading are described briefly. During tests, the composite beams and steel columns were exposed to fire, and only the ...
