Modeling the Planar Rocking of a Rigid Body with Irregular Geometry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The nonlinear dynamics of rocking rigid bodies with simple geometries, such as rectangular blocks and cylinders, have been the focus of the rocking community over the last six decades. However, many objects that are prone ...
Controlling n-Heptane HCCI Combustion With Partial Reforming: Experimental Results and Modeling Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One potential method for controlling the combustion phasing of a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is to vary the fuel chemistry using two fuels with different auto-ignition ...
Experimental and Analytical Study of Ultrahigh-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Curved Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents experimental and analytical investigations on the structural behavior of horizontally curved ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams subjected to concentrated loads applied normal ...
