RISMechanics of Tunable Adhesion With Surface Wrinkles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surface wrinkles have emerged as a promising avenue for the development of smart adhesives with dynamically tunable adhesion, finding applications in diverse fields, such as soft robots and medical devices. Despite intensive ...
A New Incremental Formulation of Elastic–Plastic Deformation of Two Phase Particulate Composite Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study the doubleinclusion model, originally developed to determine the effective linear elastic properties of composite materials, is reformulated in incremental form and extended to predict the effective nonlinear ...
Symplectic Analysis for Wrinkles: A Case Study of Layered Neo-Hookean Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wrinkles are widely found in natural and engineering structures, ranging from skins to stretchable electronics. However, it is nontrivial to predict wrinkles, especially for complicated structures, such as multilayer or ...
A Split Quasi-Lagrangian Method for Use in a Regional Barotropic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An economical advection scheme with linear high-order accuracy is described. A splitting technique is not only used to solve the equations a barotropic model, but is used to split the two dimensional quasi-Lagrangian ...
An Investigation of Non-Linear Surge Characteristic in a High-Speed Centrifugal Compressor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In centrifugal compressors, it is common to observe a rapid reduction in surge margin toward high rotational speed, which shows a non-linear surge characteristic against the change of rotational speed. This paper presents ...
Toughening Graphene With Topological Defects: A Perspective
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The low fracture toughness of graphene has raised sharp questions about its strength in the presence of cracklike flaws. Here, we discuss a number of recent studies that suggest some promising routes as well as open questions ...
Causes of Extreme Ridges That Induce California Droughts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCalifornia droughts are often caused by high-amplitude and persistent ridges near and off the west coast of North America without apparent connections with ENSO. Here with a hierarchy of climate models, it is ...
Nonsynoptic Wind-Induced Transient Effects on Linear Bridge Aerodynamics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This contribution focuses on the nonsynoptic wind-induced effects on linear bridge aerodynamics. More specifically, the transient nature of the downburst events and its effects on the aerodynamic parameters are investigated. ...
In Situ Partial Exfiltration of Rainfall Runoff. I: Quality and Quantity Attenuation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rainfall runoff impacted by anthropogenic activities transports significant quantities of particulate, aqueous, and complexed constituents. These diffuse, unsteady, and stochastic event-based loadings are unique challenges ...
Plastic Buckling Approximation for Transition Ringbeams in Steel Silos
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An annular plate ringbeam at the transition junction of a uniformly-supported steel silo or tank is subject to a large circumferential compressive force that is derived from the radial component of the meridional tension ...
