RISDynamic Response of Kirchhoff Plate on a Viscoelastic Foundation to Harmonic Circular Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper Fourier transform is used to derive the analytical solution of a Kirchhoff plate on a viscoelastic foundation subjected to harmonic circular loads. The solution is first given as a convolution of the Green’s ...
Viscoelastic Responses of Silicone Rubber Based Magnetorheological Elastomers Under Compressive and Shear Loadings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are adaptive composite materials in the sense that their mechanical properties are tailored by the applied magnetic field. In this paper we developed both isotropic and anisotropic ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Dielectric Elastomer Nanocomposites Filled With Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dielectric elastomers (DEs) have been attracting great attention in the field of electro-mechanical actuation and sensing. In this paper, we develop a new type of silicone-based DEs by incorporating multiwalled carbon ...
Blast Responses of Bridge Girders With Consideration of Isolation Effect Induced by Car Bomb
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Car bomb attack exhibits considerable different effects on structures when compared with the bare explosive blast. In this paper, a postdisaster investigation is presented for an existing bridge under accidental car bomb ...
The North Hawaiian Ridge Current: A Comparison between an Analytical Theory and Some Prior Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A previously developed analytic model of Rossby wave-induced mean current along lateral boundary is least-squares fitted to the geostrophic current derived from two closely sampled hydrographic sections windward (northeast) ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Fire and Human Evacuation for Nuclear Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The nuclear industry has seen an increased use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology as a high-fidelity tool for design-basis and beyond-design-basis accident simulations. Among its applications, CFD modeling ...
Adjuster Absorber Rods Return to Service at PLNGS
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The original CANDU® 600 design utilizes adjuster absorber (AA) rods to flatten the flux shape in the reactor core optimize power output, compensate for fuel burnup, provide excess reactivity to overcome 135Xe buildup ...
Optimal Spectral Decomposition (OSD) for Ocean Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ptimal spectral decomposition (OSD) is applied to ocean data assimilation with variable (temperature, salinity, or velocity) anomalies (relative to background or modeled values) decomposed into generalized Fourier series, ...
Assessing the Coupled Influences of Clouds on the Atmospheric Energy and Water Cycles in Reanalyses with A-Train Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe lack of complete knowledge concerning the complex interactions among clouds, circulation, and climate hinders our ability to simulate the Earth?s climate correctly. This study contributes to a broader understanding ...
