RISDesign and Simulation of Large Breakaway Signs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Breakaway supports are common devices used for dual-support signs located along the roadway. The sign system utilizes a fuse plate that is designed to support the wind loads on the sign as well as to allow the sign support ...
An Examination of Tropical and Extratropical Gust Factors and the Associated Wind Speed Histograms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A gust factor, defined as the ratio between a peak wind gust and mean wind speed over a period of time, can be used along with other statistics to examine the structure of the wind. Gust factors are heavily dependent on ...
THE NATURE AND DETECTABILITY OF CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION AS DETERMINED BY 1.25-CENTIMETER RADAR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A survey is made of the clouds and precipitation detected at a wavelength of 1.25 centimeters. The frequencies of various cloud types and their typical echo characteristics are presented. Within 89 periods during which ...
Design and Analysis of Approach Terminal Sections Using Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Turned-down guardrail terminal sections were analyzed using LS-DYNA3D, a dynamic, nonlinear, large deformation finite-element modeling package with capabilities for simulating vehicular impacts into roadside hazards. A ...
Academia and Industry in Medical Device Innovation: A Case Report1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
LunarVader: Development and Testing of Lunar Drill in Vacuum Chamber and in Lunar Analog Site of Antarctica
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Future exploration of the Moon will require access to the subsurface and acquisition of samples for scientific analysis and ground truthing of water-ice and mineral reserves for in situ resource utilization purposes. The ...
Modeling of a Semisubmersible Floating Offshore Wind Platform in Severe Waves
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Floating offshore wind platforms may be subjected to severe sea states, which include both steep and long waves. The hydrodynamic models used in the offshore industry are typically based on potential-flow theory and/or ...
Why Safety Knowledge Cannot be Transferred Directly to Expected Safety Outcomes in Construction Workers: The Moderating Effect of Physiological Perceived Control and Mediating Effect of Safety Behavior
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The construction industry is notorious for its high accident and workplace injury rates. High rates of construction workplace injuries, including fatalities, occur worldwide in both developed and developing nations. Our ...
Custom Patient-Specific Three-Dimensional Printed Mitral Valve Models for Pre-Operative Patient Education Enhance Patient Satisfaction and Understanding
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In recent years, advances in medical imaging and three-dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing techniques have increased the use of 3D-printed anatomical models for surgical planning, device design and testing, customization ...
In Vivo Modeling of Interstitial Pressure in the Brain Under Surgical Load Using Finite Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current brain deformation models have predominantly reflected solid constitutive relationships generated from empirical ex vivo data and have largely overlooked interstitial hydrodynamic effects. In ...
