Gender Differences in Cervical Spine Motions and Loads With Head Supported Mass Using Finite Element Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While many studies have been conducted to delineate the role of gender in rear impact via experiments, clinical investigations, modeling, and epidemiological research, the effect of the added head mass on segmental motions ...
Neural Network for Gap Acceptance at Stop‐Controlled Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of gap acceptance by vehicles at intersections with stop signs involves the complex interaction of numerous geometric, traffic, and environmental factors. Several methods, including empirical analysis, and ...
Hysteresis Sliding Friction of Rubber—Finite Element Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A viscoelastic finite element contact analysis that predicts the hysteretic friction between a sliding rubber block and equally spaced triangular asperities is briefly described. Comparison of analytical results with ...
Influence of Treatment Methods on the Strength and Performance Characteristics of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the rise in the adoption of recycled aggregate for construction, investigation on ways to improve its quality has been wide spread. The major factor that affects the quality of recycled aggregate is the large amount ...
Numerical Study on Thrust Generation in an Airfoil Undergoing Nonsinusoidal Plunging Motion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For the last few decades, an extensive research has been focused on flapping-wing aerodynamics to understand the generation of thrust due to pitching and plunging motions of an airfoil. However, most of the research ...
Developments in Fermentative Butanol Production as an Alternative Biofuel Source
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biobutanol is an attractive, economical, and sustainable alternative fuel to petroleum oil which are depleting in sources due to the diminishing oil reserves and creating an increase in the concentrations of greenhouse ...
Biomechanical Study of Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Devices Using Finite Element Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many artificial discs for have been introduced to overcome the disadvantages of conventional anterior discectomy and fusion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of different U.S. Food and Drug ...
Influence of Elevated Fuel Temperatures on the Spray Characteristics of Gasoline—Ethanol Blends
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the effect of elevated fuel temperatures on the spray characteristics of gasoline—ethanol blends was studied in an optically accessible constant volume spray and combustion vessel. MAHLE SmartHeat® is a fuel ...
Centrifugal Compressor Surge in Closed-Loop Systems: Initial Modeling and Comparison With Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat pumps are expected to play a primary role in electrification of thermal users in the residential and industrial sectors. Dynamic compressors are widely used in large size heat pumps, thanks to their industrial ...
