RISAn Analytical Solution of Fracture Induced Stress and Its Application in Shale Gas Exploitation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Natural gas and oil exploration and production from shale formations have gained a great momentum in many regions in the past five years. Producing hydrocarbons from shale is challenging because of low productivity of ...
Improving the Forecast Performance of the DSAEF_LTP Model by Incorporating TC Translation Speed Similarity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Dynamical–Statistical–Analog Ensemble Forecast model for Landfalling Typhoon Precipitation (DSAEF_LTP) was developed as a supplementary method to numerical weather prediction (NWP). A successful strategy for improving ...
Optimizing the Performance of a Single PEM Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional steady-state electrochemical mathematical model is developed where the mass, fluid, and thermal transport processes are considered, as well as the electrochemical reaction ...
Relationship between Level of Service and Traffic Safety at Signalized Intersections: Grouped Random Parameter Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Level of service (LOS) is a measure recommended to evaluate the operational performance of roadway facilities. It is generally agreed that LOS is related to traffic safety at signalized intersections; however, this ...
Rigid-Foldable Mechanism Inspired by Origami Twisted Tower
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid origami mechanisms have great practical utility in different fields. This paper presents a rigid and foldable mechanism based on the origami artwork Twisted Tower. The mathematical model of the funnel-shaped tower ...
Nonlinear Aerostatic Response of Catwalk of Suspension Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to make the study of aerostatic response of suspension bridge catwalk more realistic, the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) model of the catwalk of Lishuihe grand suspension bridge was established based on the FEA ...
Subcooled Pool Film Boiling Heat Transfer From Spheres With Superhydrophobic Surfaces: An Experimental Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pool film boiling was studied by visualized quenching experiments on stainless steel spheres in water at the atmospheric pressure. The surfaces of the spheres were coated to be superhydrophobic (SHB), having a static contact ...
Dynamic Behavior of Polymer Antiseepage Wall for Earth Dam by Centrifuge Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The polymer antiseepage wall is a new technology for the reinforcement of earth dams. It has the advantages of being efficient, ultrathin, minimally invasive, and economical, which makes it even more popular and widespread ...
Discussion on Curved-Deck Cable-Stayed Bridge with Sightseeing Tower
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, the combined tower structure system of the superlong-span curved cable-stayed bridge is composed of a univalent hyperboloid bridge tower, the bowl-shaped thin-wall shell podium, and the circular sightseeing ...
Fatigue Behavior of UHPC Beams Prestressed with External CFRP Tendons
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the fatigue behavior of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) beams prestressed with external carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons. Seven T-shaped beams were ...
