RISConvective Boundary Layer Flow Adjacent to an Inclined and Linearly Heated Semi-Infinite Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transient convective flow adjacent to an inclined semi-infinite plate which is heated by a linear temperature gradient is investigated with scaling analysis and direct numerical simulation (DNS) in this study. Both ...
Strengthened Linkage between November/December North Atlantic Oscillation and Subsequent January European Precipitation after the Late 1980s
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work investigates the nonsynchronous relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and winter European precipitation. The results indicate that the linkage between early-winter (November and December) NAO ...
Effect of Dielectric Imperfections on the Electroactive Deformations of Polar Dielectric Elastomers
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We find that the ratio of dielectric permittivity to shear modulus is linearly related to the number of polar groups per polymer chain in polar dielectric elastomers (PDEs). Our discovery is verified via computational ...
Evaluation of the Spatial and Temporal Uncertainties Distribution of Daily-Integrated Shortwave Downward Radiation Estimated from Polar-Orbiting Satellite Observation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he polar-orbiting satellite sensor, which can observe the entire Earth?s surface with good spatial and spectral resolution, is a potential tool for estimation of global downward shortwave radiation (DSR). However, it can ...
Determining Material Parameters for Critical State Plasticity Models Based on Multilevel Extended Digital Database
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents a new staggered multilevel material identification procedure for phenomenological critical state plasticity models. The emphasis is placed on cases in which available experimental data and constraints ...
Design of a Linkage System to Write in Cursive
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a design methodology for a system of linkages that can trace planar Bezier curves that represent cursive handwriting of the alphabet and Chinese characters. This paper shows that the standard degree n ...
Dynamic Parameters Identification and Finite Element Model Updating for Continuous Rigid Frame Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three dimensional FE model of a long-span prestressed continuous rigid frame bridge was constructed and the modal analysis was performed by using ANSYS. The real dynamic parameters of this bridge were identified by using ...
Design of Mechanisms to Draw Trigonometric Plane Curves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a mechanism design methodology that draws plane curves which have finite Fourier series parameterizations, known as trigonometric curves. We present three ways to use the coefficients of this ...
Analysis of the Temperature Effect of Piers with Concrete-filled Steel Tubes under Cold Currents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The temperature distribution of high piers with concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) is investigated by continuously observing the temperature distribution of Labajin Bridge in Ya’an-Lugu expressway. Mathematical statistical ...
Internal Force Changes in the Failure Process of Existing Reinforced Concrete Arch Ribs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental results were studied in detail for an existing reinforced concrete arch rib. Based on the static and modal experimental results, its stiffness was not reduced consistently, although it demonstrated fluctuation. ...
