RISTrue Along-Track Scan to Improve Radiation Budget Estimations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiangle approaches for radiance-to-flux conversion require accurate coregistration between the observations from nadir- and oblique-viewing directions. The along-track mode of Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) scanning ...
Steady-State Behavior of a Three-Dimensional Pool-Boiling System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pool-boiling serves as the physical model problem for electronics cooling by means of phase-change heat-transfer. The key for optimal and reliable cooling capacity is better understanding of the ...
Enabling Flexibility in Engineering Systems: A Taxonomy of Procedures and a Design Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a fivephase taxonomy of systematic procedures to enable flexibility in the design and management of engineering systems operating under uncertainty. The taxonomy integrates contributions from surveys, ...
Evaluation of System‐Reliability Methods for Cable‐Stayed Bridge Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Probabilistic system‐reliability methods have the potential to assist designers in better understanding the ultimate global behavior of bridges, thus leading to more economical, rational, and reliable structures. Nonetheless, ...
Synthesis of Hybrid Impedance Control Strategies for Robot Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new method to automatically synthesize robot compliant motions based on hybrid impedance control. The scheme relies on decoupled linear impedance models of the robot and ...
A Simple Proof That Generic 3-RPR Manipulators Have Two Aspects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Avoiding singularities in the workspace of a parallel robot is an important issue. The case of 3-RPR planar robots is an important subject of theoretical studies. We study the singularities ...
Monitoring Well‐Being of Civil Engineering Profession
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deficiencies in seven key professional aspects are identified as being potentially responsible for the frequently reported decline in the well‐being of the civil engineering profession. These deficiencies are: (1) Public ...
Strategies to Enhance Well‐Being of Civil Engineering Profession
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In a prior paper, the close interrelationship between seven key professional aspects in influencing the overall well‐being level of the civil engineering profession was demonstrated. Here, operating on each of these aspects, ...
State‐of‐the‐Art Report on Seismic Performance of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large proportion of North America's older building inventory is of unreinforced masonry (URM), constructed in the absence of mandatory earthquake design requirements, and unquestionably recognized as the type of construction ...
