RISThe Flat Plate Fin of Constant Thickness, Straight Base, and Symmetrical Shape
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A plate fin is an extended surface made from a plate. Classical longitudinal and radial fins are particular cases of plate fins with very simple shapes and no curvature. In this paper, the problem of a flat plate fin of ...
Short-Time Torque Investigations on DMA-Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new bearing torque rig capable of qualifying and analyzing bearing torque signals for large-bore high-precision bearings is described. The servomechanical subsystem responsible for torque definition ...
Factors Influencing Individual Disaster Preparedness Information Seeking Behavior: Analysis of US Households
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although various scholars have investigated the different types of media that are used by the public to access disaster preparedness information, few studies have sought to understand what factors influence individuals to ...
Maximization of Exergy Output From Volumetric Absorption Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model has been developed to study the behavior of Volumetric Absorption Solar Collectors (VASC) and the influence of the design parameters on the performance of the collector. The model’s ...
Integration of Building Information Modeling and Economic and Environmental Impact Analysis to Support Sustainable Building Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainable construction is critical to the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry. The consideration and selection of optimal building components is necessary in order to fulfill multiple objectives of ...
Experimental Investigation of Performance of Wooden Formwork Shores
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a laboratory evaluation of the performance of 104 used adjustable-length wooden formwork shores. The shore samples were randomly collected from eight different construction sites in ...
Projecting Building Inventory Changes and the Effect on Hurricane Risk
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a quantitative methodology to model the way that the number, locations, and types of buildings in a region change over time, specifically in order to understand how those changes affect hurricane risk. ...
Discussion of “Hydrologic Regionalization of Watersheds in Turkey” by Sabahattin Isik and Vijay P. Singh
