RISRelationship Between Muscle Force and Stiffness in the Whole Mammalian Muscle: A Simulation Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several types of analyses in biomechanics require estimates of both muscle force and stiffness. Simulations were performed using the two-state cross-bridge Bond Distribution-Moment muscle model of ...
The Use of a Novel Injectable Hydrogel Nucleus Pulposus Replacement in Restoring the Mechanical Properties of Cyclically Fatigued Porcine Intervertebral Discs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Repeated flexion and extension of an intervertebral disc has been shown to affect the angular stiffness of spinal motion segments and is a barometer of the mechanical integrity of the disc. A degenerated disc that loses ...
Turning CO2 Capture On and Off in Response to Electric Grid Demand: A Baseline Analysis of Emissions and Economics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coal consumption accounted for 36% of America’s CO2 emissions in 2005, yet because coal is a relatively inexpensive, widely available, and politically secure fuel, its use is projected to grow ...
Application of Observational Method to Hazardous Waste Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Uncertainty is a key technical factor in hazardous waste site remediations. It can lead to unreasonable data gathering exercises if the point of diminishing information returns is not recognized. Engineering under uncertainty, ...
Infrared Continental Surface Emissivity Spectra and Skin Temperature Retrieved from IASI Observations over the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and surface temperature and emissivity spectra are essential variables for improving models of the earth surface?atmosphere interaction or retrievals of atmospheric variables such as thermodynamic profiles, chemical ...
Prioritizing Scour Vulnerable Bridges Using Risk
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a method for assessing the risk associated with scour threat to bridge foundations. In response to numerous scour-related bridge failures, the Federal Highway Administration has ...
Clear-Water Contraction Scour under Bridges in Pressure Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridges that become partially or totally submerged during large floods are subject to pressure-flow scour, a condition where the flow is directed downward and under the bridge deck, creating an increase in flow velocity ...
Analysis and Design of a Lightweight High Specific Power Two Stroke Polygon Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current trends in engine design have pushed the state of the art regarding high powertoweight ratio gasoline engines. Newly developed engine systems have a powertoweight ratio near 1 hp per pound. The engine configuration ...
The Dynamical Core, Physical Parameterizations, and Basic Simulation Characteristics of the Atmospheric Component AM3 of the GFDL Global Coupled Model CM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) has developed a coupled general circulation model (CM3) for the atmosphere, oceans, land, and sea ice. The goal of CM3 is to address emerging issues in climate change, including ...
