RISExergy Based Study of a Binary Rankine Cycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this work is to study a binary Rankine process with a significantly higher efficiency compared to a conventional coalfired power plant. This paper focuses on the design of the process and especially on an efficient ...
Prediction of Tribological Limits in Sliding Contacts: Flash Temperature Calculations in Sliding Contacts and Material Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to achieve greater efficiency or to meet light weight requirements, components are downsized. This, however, increases the load, e.g., Hertzian or nominal contact pressures and stresses of tribosystems. This load ...

Modeling of the Long Term Behavior of Glassy Polymers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The constitutive model for glassy polymers proposed by Arruda and Boyce (BPA model) is reviewed and compared to experimental data for longterm loading. The BPA model has previously been shown to capture monotonic loading ...
On Solving One Dimensional Partial Differential Equations With Spatially Dependent Variables Using the Wavelet Galerkin Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The discrete orthogonal waveletGalerkin method is illustrated as an effective method for solving partial differential equations (PDE's) with spatially varying parameters on a bounded interval. Daubechies scaling functions ...
Mechanical Behavior of Circular Steel–Concrete Composite Stub Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In an experimental and analytical study on the mechanical behavior of circular steel–concrete composite stub columns, 13 specimens were tested. To examine different mechanical behaviors of the columns, three loading ...
Interannual Variability of Summertime Convective Cloudiness and Precipitation in the Central Andes Derived from ISCCP-B3 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability of austral summer [December?January?February?March (DJFM)] convective activity and precipitation in the central Andes (15°?30°S) is investigated between 1983 and 1999 based on in situ rain gauge ...
Object-Oriented Damage Information Modeling Concepts and Implementation for Bridge Inspection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bridges are designed to last for more than 50 years and consume up to 50% of their life-cycle costs during their operation phase. Several inspections and assessment actions are executed during this period. Bridge and ...
