RISRole of Engineer under FIDIC Form Contract
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the past several years, there has existed the dispute about the role of the engineer under International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) standard conditions of contract. FIDIC is conducting an in-depth inquiry ...
Numerical Algorithms for Simulation of One-Dimensional Mechanical Systems With Clearance-Type Nonlinearities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In many mechanical systems there are nonlinearities of clearance type. This type of nonlinearity often causes problems with convergence and accuracy in simulations, due to the discontinuities at impact. For systems with ...
The Drone and the Honey Bee
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While scientists rush to pin down the cause of colony collapse disorder and race to find a cure, engineers have wondered whether we might one day supplement real bees with mechanical ones. Called DelFly, a miniature robot ...
Robots to the Rescue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robots are becoming increasingly important responders, joining search and rescue teams in their missions. Besides being able to traverse contaminated and dangerous areas, these robots bring a different set of skills to ...
War Dogs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As robots become more advanced and more autonomous, they will be asked to do tasks that humans need done, but don’t want to do themselves. Unfortunately, in some cases, those tasks may include going to war. Ghost Robotics ...
Made in New York
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The eight digester towers at New York City's Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant seamlessly convert sewage into biogas and a dirt-like output, similar to how Mother Nature would do it. At 145 feet high and 80 feet in ...

Graph Neural Networks for State Estimation in Water Distribution Systems: Application of Supervised and Semisupervised Learning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Emerging trends of resilient and reliable water infrastructure advocate for the development of efficient state estimation (SE) techniques in water distribution systems (WDSs). SE refers to estimating the flows and heads ...
Concurrent Estimation of Origin-Destination Flows and Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Simulation Parameters in a High-Performance Computing Cluster
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper is aimed at developing an optimization framework for the concurrent calibration of demand and supply parameters in a dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model. The proposed approach calibrates route choice, along ...
