RISFull-Scale Testing and Stringer Connection Fatigue Analysis of a Historical Swiss Military Bridge for the Rhaetian Railway
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The stringer connections of a historical “Model 1936” Swiss military bridge are investigated through a full-scale field-testing program, with the aim of clarifying modeling uncertainties and enabling a standard fatigue ...
Need for Specification Format that Accommodates Engineered Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry is in need of an industry‐wide standard specification format, or structure, at the division level that goes beyond the needs of commercial projects. Such a system should readily accommodate ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a 34 Watt Radial-Inflow Steam Turbine With Partial Admission
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A microsteam turbine with a tip diameter of 15 mm was designed and experimentally characterized. At the nominal mass flow rate and total-to-total pressure ratio of 2.3 kg h−1 and 2, respectively, the turbine yields a power ...
Experimental Investigation of Enhanced Grooves for Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the potential of enhanced groove geometries to increase the bearing clearance of a Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing (HGJB) supported ...
An Experimental Study of the Enhancement of Air-Cooling Limits for Telecom/Datacom Heat Sink Applications Using an Impinging Air Jet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the heat transfer from a parallel flat plate heat sink under a turbulent impinging air jet. A horizontal nozzle plate confined the target ...
Correlation Equations for Natural Convective Heat Transfer From Two Inclined Vertically Spaced Narrow Isothermal Flat Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Natural convective flow over narrow plates induces an inward flow near the edges of the plate causing the flow to be threedimensional near the edges of the plate. This influences the heat transfer rate near the edges of ...
Performance of Posttensioned Curved-Strand Connections in Transverse Joints of Precast Deck Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accelerated bridge construction techniques have resulted in state-of-the-art options that save time and money during the construction of new or existing bridges. One such group of techniques that has generated considerable ...
Performance of Massively Parallel Computers for Spectral Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Massively parallel processing (MPP) computer systems use high-speed interconnection networks to link hundreds or thousands of RISC microprocessors. With each microprocessor having a peak performance of 100 or more megaflops ...
Modeling and Designing of a Radial Anode Off-Gas Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To improve the industry benchmark of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems, we consider anode off-gas recirculation (AOR) using a small-scale fan. Evolutionary algorithms compare different system design alternatives with ...
