RISThe Influence of the Joint Wind-Wave Environment on Offshore Wind Turbine Support Structure Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Our objective here is to establish long-term loads for offshore wind turbines using a probabilistic approach. This can enable one to estimate design loads for a prescribed level of return ...
New Central Film Thickness Equation for Shear Thinning Lubricants in Elastohydrodynamic Lubricated Rolling/Sliding Point Contact Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper offers central film thickness formula pertaining to shearthinning lubricants under rolling/sliding point contact conditions. The shearthinning behavior of the lubricants is modeled using Carreau viscosity equation ...
Heterogeneous Composition Adaptation With Material Convolution Control Features
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Controlling and accomplishing the desired functional material composition in a heterogeneous object (HO) is a close loop process and requires frequent remodeling-and-analysis. Thus, flexibility and capability to efficiently ...
Empirical Wind Turbine Load Distributions Using Field Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the design of land-based or offshore wind turbines for ultimate limit states, long-term loads associated with return periods on the order of the service life (20years, usually) must be ...
Effect of Irrigation and Climate Variability on Water Quality of Coastal Watersheds: Case Study in Alabama
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Agricultural activities are considered the leading cause of surface water quality degradation in the United States. While agricultural production in the state of Alabama is mainly rain-fed, irrigation is currently being ...
Comprehensive Drought Assessment Tool for Coastal Areas, Bays, and Estuaries: Development of a Coastal Drought Index
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The interface of freshwater and saltwater plays an important role in the economic and social dynamics along the coast and estuaries. Droughts in coastal areas have ecological impacts and affect socioeconomic dynamics and ...
Effect of Dimple Offset on the Operational Shock Performance of Small Form Factor Disk Drives
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of varying the suspension load dimple location on the shock robustness of small form factor hard disk drives. We use the CML shock simulator, which simulates the structural as well as the ...
An Efficient FE Analysis for Complex Low Flying Air-Bearing Slider Designs in Hard Disk Drives—Part I: Static Solution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prediction of the steady state flying height and attitude of air-bearing sliders in hard disk drives via simulations is the basis of their design process. Over the past few years air-bearing ...
Real-Time Operation of Water-Supply Canal Systems under Limited Electrical Power and/or Water Availability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water-supply systems (WSSs) and electrical power systems (EPSs) are highly interdependent critical infrastructures. The electrical energy required for pumping in WSSs and cooling water required for power plants in EPSs are ...
Model for Real-Time Operations of Water Distribution Systems under Limited Electrical Power Availability with Consideration of Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new methodology is presented for real-time operation of water distribution systems (WDS) under the critical condition of limited electrical energy. The critical conditions could arise due to electric grid failure, extreme ...
