Productivity of Ocean-Wave-Energy Converters: Turbine Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study was undertaken to identify which of a range of advanced Wells turbine configurations would maximize wave power productivity. The productivity is estimated of a monoplane with fixed guide vanes, a monoplane with ...
Performance of the Biplane Wells Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper describes the experimental investigation of the biplane Wells turbine for use on a wave power plant. The performance of the biplane turbine was tested in unidirectional steady air ...
A Continuum Model for Dynamic Tensile Microfracture and Fragmentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A continuum model for dynamic tensile cleavage fracture and fragmentation has been developed for detailed simulation of brittle fracture processes in elastoplastic materials. The model includes ...
Kinetics of Void Development in Fracturing A533B Tensile Bars
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The phenomenology of fracture in A533B pressure vessel steel was established by examining fractured and partially fractured round bar tensile and Charpy specimens. In the upper shelf region ...
Performance Prediction of Contrarotating Wells Turbines for Wave Energy Converter Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wave energy can be captured and converted to a vertical pistonlike oscillatory motion by semiinsertion of a chamber with a submerged opening into the ocean. The roof of the chamber will open onto a ducted Wells air turbine, ...
Erratum: “A High-Resolution Voxel Model for Predicting Local Tissue Temperatures in Humans Subjected to Warm and Hot Environments” [Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2009, 131(4), p. 041003]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: On p. 3, Table 1, the thermal conductivity k value for brain (cerebellum) should be 6.0×10−01Wm−1°C−1.
Optimization of Aircraft Fuselage Assembly Process Using Digital Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The work demonstrates the benefits of using digital methods for the development and optimization of large assembly manufacturing networks. Although an aircraft assembly has been used for this ...

A High-Resolution Voxel Model for Predicting Local Tissue Temperatures in Humans Subjected to Warm and Hot Environments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work describes and presents results from a new three-dimensional whole-body model of human thermoregulation. The model has been implemented using a version of the “Brooks Man” anatomical ...
