The Method of Rotated Solutions: A Highly Efficient Procedure for Code Verification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Code verification provides mathematical evidence that the source code of a scientific computing software platform is free of bugs and that the numerical algorithms are consistent. The most stringent form of code verification ...
Stiffness Analysis of a 2DOF Planar Tensegrity Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the stiffness analysis of a planar 2DOF tensegrity mechanism. A stiffness model is first derived based on an existing formulation. Several stiffness indices having physical ...
Toward Optimal Choices of Control Space Representation for Geophysical Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In geophysical data assimilation, observations shed light on a control parameter space through a model, a statistical prior, and an optimal combination of these sources of information. This control space can be a set of ...
A Geostatistical Framework for Quantifying the Temporal Evolution and Predictability of Rainfall Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: geostatistical framework for quantifying the temporal evolution and predictability of rainfall fields for time lags between 5 min and 3 h is proposed. The method is based on the computation of experimental space?time ...
Scaling and Distributional Properties of Precipitation Interamount Times
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he scaling and distributional properties of precipitation interamount times (IATs) are investigated using 10 years of high-resolution rain gauge observations from the U.S. Climate Reference Network. Results show that IATs ...
Engineering Academic Diversity: It's the Nondiverse Who Need To Participate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is contended here that success comes from integrating many ideas, viewpoints, and concepts into a solution that is better than any smaller, narrower group could achieve. Diversity is not restricted to including individuals ...
Special Issue: Cardiovascular Device Development and Safety Assessment Using Computational Modeling and Experimental Approaches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Workspace-Based Design of Equivalent Compression Spring Legs for a 3-DoF Translational Tensegrity Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prior work has led to the development of a three-degree-of-freedom translational tensegrity robot. Due to inherent and unavoidable collisions between the struts of the tensegrity system that is used as the basis of the ...
A New Wall Shear Stress Model for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new wall shear stress model to be used as a wall boundary condition for large-eddy simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer is proposed. The new model computes the wall shear stress and the vertical derivatives of the ...
On Moore’s Law and Its Application to Spark Ignition Engine Technology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Moore’s law relates how the integration of semiconductors has progressed in time. This research shows that the exponential trend shown in the electronics manufacturing industry can have applications ...
