Porothermoelastic Analysis of the Response of a Stationary Crack Using the Displacement Discontinuity Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Thermally induced volumetric changes in rock result in pore pressure variations, and lead to a coupling between the thermal and poromechanical processes. This paper examines the response of a fracture in porothermoelastic ...
Analysis of Circular Braiding Process, Part 1: Theoretical Investigation of Kinematics of the Circular Braiding Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Circular braiding is a manufacturing process for making circular braided fabrics. Relative sliding of yarns during their interlacing motion introduces friction which limits the density of the ...
Eigenvector Derivatives of Generalized Nondefective Eigenproblems With Repeated Eigenvalues
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new method is presented for computation of eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives associated with repeated eigenvalues of the generalized nondefective eigenproblem. This approach is an extension ...
Procurement Protocols for Public-Private Partnered Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Infrastructure megaprojects have often failed to meet original stakeholder expectations in both “pure” free markets and totally central-planned economies. Such failures provide the rationale for public-private partnerships ...
Manifold Gas Dynamics Modeling and Its Coupling With Single-Cylinder Engine Models Using Simulink
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A flexible model for computing one-dimensional, unsteady manifold gas dynamics in single-cylinder spark-ignition and diesel engines has been developed. The numerical method applies an explicit, ...
Thermal and Mechanical Simulation and Experiments in Micro-electronics and Microsystems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This special issue includes selected papers presented at the International Conference of Thermal and Mechanical Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE), Paris, May ...
Analysis of Circular Braiding Process, Part 2: Mechanics Analysis of the Circular Braiding Process and Experiment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The final structure of a braid is a consequence of force interactions among yarns in the convergent zone. In Part 1, the influence of friction forces on the final braided structure was ...
Combustion Characteristics of Heavy Liquid Fuels in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Liquid fuels such as bitumen, tars, and pitches are byproducts of heavy oil upgrading processes, and are usually contaminated with high sulphur and sometimes heavy metals contents as well. ...
A Unified Characteristic Theory for Plastic Plane Stress and Strain Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the unified strength criterion, a characteristic theory for solving the plastic plane stress and plane strain problems of an ideal rigid-plastic body is established in this paper, which ...
Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Simulation of the Flow and Tracer Transport in a Multichambered Ozone Contactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on results from steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation (RANSS) of the flow and passive nonreactive tracer transport inside a multichambered, laboratory-scale ozone contactor using a ...
