RISNonlinear Viscoelastic Modelling of the Fiber-Matrix Interphase in Composite Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A nonlinear viscoelastic analysis of the carbon fiber-thermoset (or thermoplastic) matrix interphase is presented. The second order nonlinear partial differential equation governing the state of ...
Using Multicell Kelvin Structure for Pressure Vessel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pressure vessel is widely used in many engineering areas. How to achieve a perfect combination of excellent performance and low cost in the design and manufacturing of a pressure vessel is, ...
Pressure Loss Distribution in Three-Pass Rectangular Channels With Rib Turbulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present study investigated the combined effects of the flow channel aspect ratio, the rib turbulator configuration, and the sharp 180-deg turn on the distributions of the local pressure ...
Effect of Rib-Angle Orientation on Local Mass Transfer Distribution in a Three-Pass Rib-Roughened Channel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this experimental investigation of the heat transfer characteristics of turbulent air flow in a three-pass square channel, the test section consisted of three straight square channels jointed ...
Fracture Nucleation in Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Under Tension: A Continuum Analysis Incorporating Interatomic Potentials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes show great promise for applications ranging from nanocomposites, nanoelectronic components, nanosensors, to nanoscale mechanical probes. These materials exhibit very attractive ...
Experimental Investigation of the Hydraulic and Thermal Performance of a Phase Change Material Slurry in the Heat Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of phase change material slurry to the refrigeration and air conditioning system opens a new way for energy saving and reduction of the quantity of refrigerant in the system ...
An Apparent Free Surface Method for Determining the Transient Freezing Around a Buried Pipe in a Semi-Infinite Region
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new quasi-steady analytic solution procedure is introduced for determining the noncircular growth of the freeze/thaw boundary around a buried pipe in a half space for the case where the pipe ...
Four-Dimensional Visualization of Construction Scheduling and Site Utilization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Four-dimensional (4D) models link three-dimensional geometrical models with construction schedule data. The visual link between the schedule and construction site conditions is capable of facilitating decision making during ...
Vapor Chamber Acting as a Heat Spreader for Power Module Cooling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an integrated power electronics module with a vapor chamber (VC) acting as a heat spreader to transfer the heat from the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module to ...
Relative importance of internal climate variability versus anthropogenic climate change in global climate change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To better understand the role of internal climate variability (ICV) in climate change impact studies, this study quantifies the importance of ICV (defined as the inter-member variability of a single model initial-condition ...
