RISManganese Amended Activated Alumina for Adsorption/Oxidation of Arsenic
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In a laboratory study, manganese amended activated alumina (MAA), prepared by calcining
Fabrication Uncertainty in B2 for Nuclear Pipe Bends Subjected to In Plane Opening Moment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For reliabilitybased design of pipe bends and elbows, a probabilistic characterization of the primary stress indices (B1 and B2) is essential. This paper aims at the characterization of the fabrication/geometric uncertainty ...
Thermal and Wear Behavior of Glass Fiber-Filled Functionally Graded Material-Based Polyamide 66 Spur Gears Manufactured by a Novel Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research work presents a modified mathematical method to estimate the specific wear rate of spur gears for specified service conditions by calculating the coordinates of the point on the involute of gear tooth profile. ...
Analysis and Design of Tensile Membrane Structures: Challenges and Recommendations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tensile membrane structures (TMS) are increasingly in demand due to their ability to span large distances with elegance and structural efficiency. Because TMS is comparatively new to the structural engineering world, there ...

New Approach for Conditional Coring in RC Structures Using Bivariate Distributions of Nondestructive Test Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nondestructive tests (NDT) and partially destructive tests (PDT) are routinely employed for the management of aging infrastructure assets. Owing to the uncertainties in such NDT/PDT data, codes and guidelines recommend the ...
Fractional Optimal Control Problems With Specified Final Time
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A constrained dynamic optimization problem of a fractional order system with fixed final time has been considered here. This paper presents a general formulation and solution scheme of a class ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Frame-Supported Tensile Membrane Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the inherent flexibility of tensile membrane structures (TMS), they need to remain in a stable equilibrium condition in the presence of gusty winds as well as in their absence. This paper is aimed at the reliability-based ...
A Control Theoretic Approach for Solving Underdetermined Problems and Its Application to Control Allocation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a new iterative algorithm is developed using control theoretic approach to find the minimum norm solution of underdetermined problems. The minimum norm solution is obtained by applying the H∠optimization ...
Bayesian Approach for the Seismic Fragility Estimation of a Containment Shell Based on the Formation of Through-Wall Cracks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The primary containment (PC) in a nuclear power plant provides the last barrier against radiation leakage to the environment. Design specifications fail to assess the performance of a seismically-damaged containment against ...
