RISDistributed Generation, Using Battery/Photovoltaic System: Modeling and Simulation With Relative Controller Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Distributed generation (DG) using a parallel battery pack with photovoltaic (PV) system has been presented in this brief. Considering a two level inverter and a three phase transformer, a local load will be supplied by the ...
Using Twist-Off Method for Measuring Surface Strength of Concretes Cured under Different Environments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research project whose goal was to measure the surface strength of concretes cured under different environments by using the newly developed twist-off test. A circular steel disk was ...
Solvent Selection Criteria and Optimal Application Conditions for Heavy Oil/Bitumen Recovery at Elevated Temperatures: A Review and Comparative Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sole thermal or solvent methods for heavyoil recovery are not effective enough to deliver cost efficient processes. Hybrid applications of those two techniques have been proposed to take advantage of each and a wide range ...
Extended Implicit PIS-ALE Method to Efficient Simulation of Turbulent Flow Domains with Moving Boundaries
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this work, an implicit finite-volume-element (FVE) method is extended to efficiently simulate the vortical structure of unsteady turbulent flows in domains with moving meshes. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) ...
Modified Nonlocal Mindlin Plate Theory for Buckling Analysis of Nanoplates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article presents a modified nonlocal Mindlin plate theory for stability analysis of nanoplates subjected to both uniaxial and biaxial in-plane loadings. Closed-form solutions of buckling load are presented according ...
Inappropriate Effects of Conventional Nonlocal Constitutive Laws on Three-Dimensional Nonlocal Elasticity Solution of Nanoplates Buckling Problem
Publisher:
Abstract: In this paper, conventional nonlocal constitutive equations are examined in the three-dimensional buckling problem of rectangular nanoplates. Those constitutive equations that are frequently used in mechanical analysis of ...
Effect of Extreme Floods on the Archaeological Sites of Persepolis and Naghsh-e-Rostam, Iran
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: UNESCO has designated the archaeological sites of Persepolis and Naghsh-e-Rostam as cultural world heritage sites. These sites are located at 55 km northeast of Shiraz, in southern Iran. Persepolis consists of three parts: ...
Adaptive Consensus Tracking for Fractional Order Linear Time Invariant Swarm Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an adaptive controller to achieve consensus tracking for the fractionalorder linear time invariant swarm systems in which the matrices describing the agent dynamics and the interactive dynamics between ...
Nonlinear Fault Diagnosis of Jet Engines by Using a Multiple Model-Based Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a nonlinear fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme that is based on the concept of multiple model approach is proposed for jet engines. A modular and a hierarchical ...
Time-Temperature-Age Superposition Validation for Linear Viscoelastic Properties of Bituminous Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aging, as an integral part of organic materials like asphalt binder, imposes a significant effect on chemical, physical, and performance-related properties of asphalt mixtures. One of the methods that has been proposed for ...
