RISThe Effects of Unbalanced Flow on the Thermal Performance of Collector Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper details a mathematical model and a computer program that were developed to examine the effects of a flow imbalance on the total solar energy gain of a collector array. The model ...
Influence of Contact Geometry on Local Friction Energy and Stiffness of Revolute Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Revolute joints (also called pin joints or hinge joints) are used in many different mechanical systems such as robotic arms, door hinges, folding mechanisms, or hydraulic shovels. Since they ...
Parameter Uncertainties in Flood Hazard Analysis of Heavy Rain Events
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flooding due to intensive precipitation poses a major threat to lives and property. To deal with the resulting risks, information about flood-prone areas regarding water levels and flow velocities is needed. The flood ...
Correlation between System and Observation Errors in Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAccurate knowledge of two types of noise, system and observational, is an important aspect of Bayesian filtering methodology. Traditionally, this knowledge is reflected in individual covariance matrices for the two ...
Influence of Chord Length and Inlet Boundary Layer on the Secondary Losses of Turbine Blades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, results concerning the influence of chord length and inlet boundary layer thickness on the endwall loss of a linear turbine cascade are discussed. The investigations were performed ...
The Eshelby Tensors in a Finite Spherical Domain—Part I: Theoretical Formulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work is concerned with the precise characterization of the elastic fields due to a spherical inclusion embedded within a spherical representative volume element (RVE). The RVE is considered ...
The Eshelby Tensors in a Finite Spherical Domain—Part II: Applications to Homogenization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this part of the work, the Eshelby tensors of a finite spherical domain are applied to various homogenization procedures estimating the effective material properties of multiphase composites. ...
Reduction of Secondary Flow Losses in Turbine Cascades by Leading Edge Modifications at the Endwall
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental results are presented which show the influence on the secondary flow and its losses by a profile modification of the leading edge very close to the endwall. The investigation was ...
An Alternative Slicing Technique to Consider Pressure Concentrations in Non-Hertzian Line Contacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new, fast method is presented for the analysis of roller-race contact in roller bearings. Based on a theoretical and implicit load-deflection relationship, an improved slicing technique is ...
Synthesis of C0 Path Generating Contact Aided Compliant Mechanisms Using the Material Mask Overlay Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Contactaided compliant mechanisms (CCMs) are synthesized via the material mask overlay strategy (MMOS) to trace desired nonsmooth paths. MMOS employs hexagonal cells to discretize the design region and engages negative ...
