Wave-Induced Accelerations of a Fish-Farm Elastic Floater: Experimental and Numerical Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical simulations and experiments of an elastic circular collar of a floating fish farm are reported. The floater model without netting structure is moored with nearly horizontal moorings and tested in regular deep-water ...
A Correlation for Nusselt Number of Slip Gas Flow in Confined Porous Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A clear understanding of flow and heat transfer at pore-scale level in microporous media is a topic of concern in microcooling/heating systems. In this work, a multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is ...
Heat Transfer Analysis of Supercritical Methane in Microchannels With Different Geometric Configurations on High Power Electromechanical Actuator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The issue of regenerative cooling is one of the most important key technologies of flight vehicles, which is applied into both the engine and high-power electrical equipment. One pattern of regenerative cooling channels ...
Extensional Waves in a Sandwich Plate With Interface Slip
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The twodimensional (2D) equations for thin elastic plates are used to study extensional motions of a sandwich plate with weak interfaces. The interfaces are governed by the shearslip model that possesses interface elasticity ...
Stochastic Analysis of a Nonlinear Forced Panel in Subsonic Flow With Random Pressure Fluctuations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stochastic behavior of a twodimensional nonlinear panel subjected to subsonic flow with random pressure fluctuations and an external forcing is studied in this paper. The total aerodynamic pressure is considered as the ...
Evaluation of Cracking Resistance in Alaskan Asphalt Pavement with Paving Interlayers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Paving interlayers have been used in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays in a variety of design and construction situations for more than three decades. In cold regions such as Alaska and other northern states, AC pavements are ...
Coupled Extensional and Flexural Motions of a Two-Layer Plate With Interface Slip
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of imperfect interface on the coupled extensional and flexural motions in a two-layer elastic plate is investigated from views of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. A set of full two-dimensional ...
A Rigid Morphing Mechanism Enabled EarthwormLike Crawling Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inspired by natural earthworms’ locomotion mechanism, this paper investigates how the earthworm’s muscle works and presents the approach to mimic segmental muscle by employing rigid elementsbased morphing structures. ...
Daily Surface Solar Radiation Prediction Mapping Using Artificial Neural Network: The Case Study of Reunion Island
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the prediction of daily surface solar radiation maps for Reunion Island by a hybrid approach that combines principal component analysis (PCA), wavelet transform analysis, and artificial neural network ...
Evaluation of Runoff Responses to Land Use Changes and Land Cover Changes in the Upper Huaihe River Basin, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Runoff changes in response to land use and land cover changes in the Huaihe River were drastic in the last few decades and are poorly understood because results from those studies are often equivocal. Hitherto, the methodology ...
