Investigation of Sensitivity Analysis of Crucial Dynamic Characteristics of Offshore Wind Turbine Utilizing Polynomial Chaos Expansion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The probabilistic-based design method is gaining attention in designing offshore wind turbines (OWTs) owing to its economic design. However, the numerous uncertain design variables and the tiny target annual failure ...
Multiobjective Optimization Method of Public Transit Networks Based on Travel Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The optimization of transit network can improve transit efficiency and traffic conditions as well as reduce environmental pollution. Transit network optimization that considers the travel behavior of bus passengers comprises ...
Spline-Discretization-Based Free Vibration Analysis for Orthotropic Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Extensive numerical analysis indicates that the conventional spline functions semidiscretization analysis for orthotropic plates and shells reported by Li et al. (
Experimental Research on a Three Dimensional Journal Orbit of a Crankshaft Bearing for an Internal Combustion Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current experimental researches on the orbit of a journal center of a crankshaft bearing for an internal combustion engine were usually focused on the 2D movement locus of a crankshaft journal center in the cross section ...
Experimental Research and Analysis of the Shear Lag Effect of a Cantilever Concrete Box Girder under Double-Deck Uniform Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The shear lag effect distribution, law of a single-box, three-room cantilever box girder under double-deck uniform loads is discussed through experimental research and analysis of the flexural behavior within the girder. ...
An Improved Gridded Historical Daily Precipitation Analysis for Brazil
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A gauge-only precipitation data quality control and analysis system has been developed for monitoring precipitation at NOAA?s Climate Prediction Center (CPC). Over the past 10 yr the system has been used to develop and ...
Bias Adjustment of Satellite Precipitation Estimation Using Ground-Based Measurement: A Case Study Evaluation over the Southwestern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reliable precipitation measurement is a crucial component in hydrologic studies. Although satellite-based observation is able to provide spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation, the measurements tend to show ...
Simulation of Dynamic Energy Consumption in Modular Construction Manufacturing Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although industrialized construction methods, such as modular and manufactured buildings, have evolved over decades, core techniques used in prefabrication plants vary only slightly from those used in traditional site-built ...
Road Alignment Fitting Method Evaluation Based on Multi-Factor Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multi-factor evaluation was established based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to analyze the advantages of different road alignment fitting methods and provide guidance on selecting linear fitting methods for road ...
Interface Effects on the Viscoelastic Properties of PDMS/SiO2 Particle-Reinforced Nanocomposites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polydimethylsiloxane/silica (PDMS/SiO2) particle-reinforced nanocomposites prepared at the present study are typical viscoelastic materials. Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of the SiO2 nanoparticles, the interface ...
