RISReducing Energy Use in Light Industrial Buildings in Southeast Asia: A Singaporean Case Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in improving the energy efficiency of the Southeast Asian building sector. However, much of this work has focused on residential and commercial buildings rather than ...
Proportioning Design and Mechanical Properties Research of Polypropylene Fiber and Polymer Emulsion Reinforced Cement Mortar
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of new binders, alternative to traditional cements mortars obtained by the reinforcement of some fibers and polymer emulsion, is an ongoing study and research topic of the scientific community. The present ...
Effect of Compressive Pressure on the Contact Behavior Between Bipolar Plate and Gas Diffusion Layer in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The clamping force during the assembly of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has a great influence in the contact resistance between bipolar plate (BPP) and gas diffusion layer (GDL). In this paper, three different ...
Effect of the T-Stress in Microcrack Shielding Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of the T-stress in microcrack shielding problems is studied by solving the interaction problem of a macrocrack with near tip microcracks applying a discrete model. The T-stress has ...
Collocation Spectral Method for the Transient Conduction–Radiation Heat Transfer With Variable Thermal Conductivity in Two Dimensional Rectangular Enclosure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The collocation spectral method (CSM) is further developed to solve the transient conduction–radiation heat transfer in a twodimensional (2D) rectangular enclosure with variable thermal conductivity. The energy equation ...
Numerical Simulation of Aggregate Shapes of Two-Dimensional Concrete and Its Application1
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A practical method is presented for modeling of two-dimensional arbitrary shape aggregates. An efficient algorithm is developed for mass concrete whose aggregate content reaches 60–70%. All the same kind of random triangular ...
Single-Angle Compression Members with Both Legs Bolted at the Ends: Design Implications from an Experimental Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Single-angle compression members are widely used in civil structures. However, determination of the compressive strength of a single-angle compression member based on the classic stability theory and with an explicit ...
Determination of the Reduced Creep Function of Viscoelastic Compliant Materials Using Pipette Aspiration Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Determining the mechanical properties of soft matter across different length scales is of great importance in understanding the deformation behavior of compliant materials under various stimuli. A pipette aspiration test ...
Research on Propagation and Fatigue Life of Asphalt Pavement Surface Crack
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Focusing on the severity of asphalt pavement surface crack, a finite element analysis model of 20-node isoparametric elements was established with the commerce FEM software ABAQUS based on fracture mechanics theory. The ...
An Experimental Study of Baroclinic Flows with and without Two-Wave Bottom Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of laboratory experiments was performed in a thermally-driven rotating annulus of fluid with and without two-wave bottom topography. Velocity measurements were made by illuminating a thin layer of fluid at mid-depth ...
