Constructing Hydraulic Robot Models Using Memory-Based Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydraulic machines used in mining and excavation applications are nonlinear systems. Apart from the nonlinearity due to the dynamic coupling between the different links there are significant actuator nonlinearities due to ...
Behavior of Rigid-Faced Reinforced Soil-Retaining Walls Subjected to Different Earthquake Ground Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study of the seismic behavior of rigid
Behavior of Rigid-Faced Reinforced Soil-Retaining Walls Subjected to Different Earthquake Ground Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study of the seismic behavior of rigid-faced reinforced soil-retaining walls subjected to scaled earthquake ground motions is presented in this paper. A numerical model was developed and validated to simulate the ...
Modeling the Dynamic Response of Wrap-Faced Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the development of a numerical model for simulating the shaking table tests on wrap-faced reinforced soil retaining walls. Some of the physical model tests carried out on reinforced soil retaining walls ...
Evaluation of the Optimum Mixing Ratio of a Sand-Tire Chips Mixture for Geoengineering Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the evaluation of the optimum mixing ratio of sand-tire chips (STC) mixtures based on void ratio and shear-strength properties. Locally available sand and tire chips of
Behavior of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Foundation Systems Supported on Stiff Clay Subgrade
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A series of laboratory model tests was performed to investigate the behavior of geosynthetic reinforced stiff clay foundation systems under circular loading. The footing consisted of a rigid circular steel plate with a ...
Finite Element Simulation on Natural Convection Flow in a Triangular Enclosure Due to Uniform and Nonuniform Bottom Heating
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A penalty finite element analysis with biquadratic elements has been carried out to investigate natural convection flows within an isosceles triangular enclosure with an aspect ratio of 0.5. Two ...
Evaluation of the Optimum Mixing Ratio of a Sand-Tire Chips Mixture for Geoengineering Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the evaluation of the optimum mixing ratio of sand-tire chips (STC) mixtures based on void ratio and shear-strength properties. Locally available sand and tire chips of 20×10 mm size are adopted. ...
Convective Condensation of Vapor in Laminar Flow in a Vertical Parallel Plate Channel in the Presence of a High-Concentration Noncondensable Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of laminar film condensation of a vapor from vapor-gas mixture in laminar flow in a vertical parallel plate channel is formulated theoretically. The flowing gas-vapor mixture contains ...
Performance of a Low Heat Rejection Diesel Engine With Air Gap Insulated Piston
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A threaded air gap insulated piston provided effective insulation without causing sealing problems. The performance of the diesel engine with the air gap insulated piston was obtained with ...
