RISEffect of Ethanol–Diesel Fuel Blend on Diesel Engine Emissions Produced by Different Bus Fleets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The major regulated pollutants emitted by a diesel urban bus are nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). These emissions depend on the engine and its strategies (injection, exhaust-gas recirculation, after-treatment ...
Evaluation of Pull-Off Tests as a FRP–Concrete Bond Testing Method in the Laboratory and Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The direct tension pull-off test has gained popularity as a test method used in the laboratory and especially in the field to assess the quality of bond between externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) repair ...
Effect of Ethanol–Diesel Fuel Blend on Diesel Engine Emissions Produced by Different Bus Fleets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The major regulated pollutants emitted by a diesel urban bus are nitrogen oxides (
Cracked Membrane Model for Strain-Softening Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the extension of the cracked membrane model, developed originally for predicting the behavior of conventionally reinforced concrete members subjected to in-plane loading, to include the effect of fiber ...
Dynamic Parameter Identification of Subject Specific Body Segment Parameters Using Robotics Formalism: Case Study Head Complex
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate knowledge of body segment inertia parameters (BSIP) improves the assessment of dynamic analysis based on biomechanical models, which is of paramount importance in fields such as sport activities or impact crash ...
Model of Soft Tissue Artifact Propagation to Joint Angles in Human Movement Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work describes the kinematic laws that govern the transmission of soft tissue artifact errors to kinematic variables in the analysis of human movements. Artifacts are described as relative translations and rotations ...
Gasification of Biomass to Second Generation Biofuels: A Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biomass gasification has gained significant attention in the last couple of decades for the production of heat, power, and second generation biofuels. Biomass gasification processes are highly complex due to the large ...
A Constraint Solving-Based Approach to Analyze 2D Geometric Problems With Interval Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many applications of geometric nature can be modeled by geometric problems defined by constraints in which the constraint parameters have interval uncertainty. In a previous work, we developed ...
Eddy-Train Encounters with a Continental Boundary: A South Atlantic Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite altimetry suggests that large anticyclonic eddies (rings) originating from the Agulhas Current retroflection occasionally make their way across the entire South Atlantic Ocean. What happens when these rings encounter ...
Experimental Analysis of Rigid Body Motion. A Vector Method to Determine Finite and Infinitesimal Displacements From Point Coordinates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a vector method for measuring rigid body motion from marker coordinates, including both finite and infinitesimal displacement analyses. The common approach to solving the ...
