Application of the Design For Control Approach for the Integrated Design and Control of Parallel Robots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To effectively control a complex mechanical structure for precise performance, a modelbased type of controller is usually desired. In cases of controlling parallel robots, however, the iterative computation due to the ...
Mechanical and Acoustic Performance of Sandwich Panels With Hybrid Cellular Cores
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sandwich structures that are embedded with cellular materials show excellent performance in terms of mechanics, electromagnetics, and acoustics. In this paper, sandwich panels with hybrid cellular cores of hexagonal, ...
Effects of Oxygenated Biomass Fuels on the Performance of Diesel Engine and After-Treatment System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oxygenated biomass fuels have attracted significant attention due to their contributions in reducing environmental pollution and fossil fuel consumption. In view of stricter emission regulations, the use of these alternative ...
Analysis of Transverse Crack on Top Slab of Prestressed Concrete Box Girder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: According to the construction characteristics and the specialties of stress distribution in the top slab of a prestressed concrete box girder bridge, two improvements on the submodel method have been made on the basis of ...
Time-Dependent Reliability Analysis Through Response Surface Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In time-dependent reliability analysis, the first-passage method has been extensively used to evaluate structural reliability under time-variant service circumstances. To avoid computing the outcrossing rate in this method, ...
Simultaneous Discrete Topology Optimization of Ply Orientation and Thickness for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic-Laminated Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study developed a discrete topology optimization procedure for the simultaneous design of ply orientation and thickness for carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)-laminated structures. A gradient-based discrete material ...
Pounding Responses of an Expansion Joint in a Curved Ramp Bridge under Earthquake Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Kelvin contact element was used to simulate the collision between expansion joints at the pier and the abutment. The purpose was to investigate the pounding responses of the expansion joint in a curved ramp bridge under ...
A Finite-Time Ensemble Method for Mixed Layer Model Comparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Powerful Method of Characteristics Module in Advanced Neutronics Lattice Code KYLIN-2
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to powerful geometry treatment capability, method of characteristics (MOC) currently becomes one of the best method to solve neutron transport equation. In MOC method, boundary condition treatment, complex geometry ...
Estimation of Uncertainty in Temperature Observations Made at Meteorological Stations Using a Probabilistic Spatiotemporal Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: probabilistic spatiotemporal approach based on a spatial regression test (SRT-PS) is proposed for the quality control of climate data. It provides a quantitative probability that represents the uncertainty in each temperature ...
