RISHelmert Method as Equivalent of Iterated Almost Unbiased Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By a minor change in the weighting policy, the complicated Helmert model can be mathematically reduced to an exact equivalent of iterated almost unbiased estimation (IAUE). Such an approach is referred to as the modified ...
Thermal Shock on a Finite Disk Due to an Instantaneous Point Heat Source
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper contains an exact solution for the transient temperature distribution and the associated quasi-static thermal stresses and deformations which arise in a finite circular disk subjected ...
Transient Thermal Stresses on a Finite Disk Due to a Continuous Point Heat Source
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper contains exact solutions for the transient temperature distribution and the associated quasi-static thermal stresses and deformations which arise in a thin circular disk of finite ...
Tensioned Fabric Shape-Finding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tensioned glass fiber-reinforced fabric has been used in roofs and canopies for various permanent structures such as stadiums and airport terminals all around the world. At its final state of geometry, the fabric shall be ...
Analysis of Oxygen Exchange Between Arterioles and Surrounding Capillary-Perfused Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical model is used to analyze oxygen transport in a three-dimensional tissue region containing an arteriole surrounded by an array of capillaries in planes perpendicular to the arteriole. ...
Motion of Red Blood Cells in Capillaries With Variable Cross-Sections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Red blood cells undergo continual deformation when traversing microvessels in living tissues. This may contribute to higher resistance to blood flow observed in living microvessels, compared with ...
Motion of Nonaxisymmetric Red Blood Cells in Cylindrical Capillaries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We analyze theoretically the single-file flow of asymmetric red blood cells along cylindrical capillaries. Red cells in narrow capillaries are typically nonaxisymmetric, with the cell membrane ...
A Constitutive Model for Metals Subjected to Cyclic Creep
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a constitutive model which can be used to predict creep strains and rupture lives of engineering materials undergoing entire creep process, including primary, secondary, and ...
On the Multidimensional Creep Deformation of Ice by Finite Element Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the use of finite element analysis of the creep deformation of ice covers subject to localized loads. An incremental deformation approach was adopted and better computational ...
On the Analysis of Residual Stresses Introduced in Sheet Metals by Thermal Shock Treatment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical study of the residual stresses in a thin metal sheet with a circular hole subjected to an axially symmetric thermal shock over a concentric annular area. ...
