RISFlow Maldistribution and Performance Deteriorations in Membrane-Based Heat and Mass Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat mass exchangers are crucial for the prevention of epidemic respiratory diseases such as H1N1 (swine flu). The flow maldistribution affects their performance seriously. The flow maldistribution ...
An Analytical Solution to Heat and Mass Transfer in Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactors for Liquid Desiccant Air Dehumidification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hollow fiber membrane contactors are used in air dehumidification. The benefit of this technology is that the liquid desiccant is not in a direct contact with the process air; therefore, the ...
An Aerodynamic Loss Model for Axial Turbine Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aerodynamic loss models play an important role in the preliminary design of axial turbines. However, prediction accuracy and parameter sensitivity of traditional models being used for decades are problematic. Thus, this ...
Evaluating the Homogeneity of the Interval Quality of Asphalt Pavement Structure with X-Ray Computed Tomography
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The method that uses only a compaction degree indicator in the core specimens of asphalt pavement for evaluating construction quality cannot effectively reflect the volumetric property and inner structure of asphalt mixtures. ...
Fatigue Crack Propagation Analysis of Plaque Rupture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rupture of atheromatous plaque is the major cause of stroke or heart attack. Considering that the cardiovascular system is a classic fatigue environment, plaque rupture was treated as a chronic fatigue crack growth process ...
The Optimal Mode and an Approximate Expression of Final Displacement in Dynamic Plastic Response of Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper is concerned with the dynamic response of impulsively loaded rigid-perfectly plastic structures. By combining the mode approximation technique with the upper and the lower bound theorems, ...
Design of a Multi-Arm Surgical Robotic System for Dexterous Manipulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surgical procedures are traditionally performed by two or more surgeons along with staff nurses: one serves as the primary surgeon and the other as his/her assistant. Introducing surgical robots into the operating room has ...
Postprocessing of Ensemble Weather Forecasts Using a Stochastic Weather Generator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study proposes a new statistical method for postprocessing ensemble weather forecasts using a stochastic weather generator. Key parameters of the weather generator were linked to the ensemble forecast means for both ...
A Low Dimensional Dissimilarity Analysis of Unilateral and Bilateral Stroke Impacted Hand Trajectories
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a quantitative approach based on identifying hand trajectory dissimilarities through the use of a multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis. A highrate motion capture system is used to gather ...
Predictive Modeling and Uncertainty Quantification of Laser Shock Processing by Bayesian Gaussian Processes With Multiple Outputs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate numerical modeling of laser shock processing, a typical complex physical process, is very difficult because several input parameters in the model are uncertain in a range. And numerical simulation of this high ...
