RISLooking Beyond Self-Reported Cognitive Load: Comparing Pupil Diameter Against Self-Reported Cognitive Load in Design Tasks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As designers experience greater mental demands from the increased complexity of new design tools and methods, it is important to understand designers' cognitive load when performing design tasks. Several researchers have ...
Discussion of “<i>Uplift Capacity of Z‐Purlins</i>” by Roger A. LaBoube (April, 1991, Vol. 117, No. 4)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Selection of Optimal Sensor Locations Based on Modified Effective Independence Method: Case Study on a Gothic Revival Cathedral
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study demonstrates a methodology for selecting optimal regions for placing vibration sensors to efficiently extract the dynamic characteristics of the nave of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (SJD). Placing sensors ...
Assessment of Strength Degradation of Historic Masonry Monuments due to Damage: Load Path–Based Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Historic masonry monuments experience aging and accumulated damage, which consequently degrade both their stiffness and strength. Stiffness degradation can be quantified through nondestructive testing and has been widely ...
Simulation of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Tests on Sands with Low Water Content
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The stress-strain response of sand at high strain rate is an important topic. However, most of the numerical studies concentrated on sands at high water content and were not able to capture the softening and subsequent ...
Simulation of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Tests on Sands Using the Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests have been used extensively to study the stress–strain behavior of sand under high strain-rate conditions. However, the low impedance of sand leads to specimens not attaining stress ...
Not Good Enough? Exploring Relationships Between Novice Designers’ Trait Empathy, Their Beliefs, Attitudes, and Intentions Toward Sustainability, and the Self-Evaluated Sustainability of Their Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers’ empathy plays an important role in supporting socially conscious design. Although widely studied in engineering design, a majority of the research on empathy focuses on designers’ ability to empathize with primary ...
Determination of Spread Activation Energy and Assessment of Wetting Behavior of Solders on Metallic Substrates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of substrate material, substrate surface roughness, and operating temperature on the wetting behavior of Sn–37Pb, Sn–3.5Ag, and Sn–9Zn eutectic solders on metallic substrates were ...
Local Heat Transfer Distribution on Thin Metal Foil Impinged by Array of Free Surface Jets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present study focuses on the measurement of the local heat transfer distribution of a smooth flat plate impinged by an array of free surface jets on a thin metal foil. Local Nusselt number distributions are measured ...
Development of Compact Models for Electronics Cooling: Using the Multigrid Operator to Generate Reduced-Order Description of Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The need for compact models for ICs is a well-recognized problem in electronics cooling simulations of systems containing multiple PCBs and many devices per board. The disparate length scales ...
