RISRemaining-Life Prediction and Reliability Assessment of Buried Gas Pipelines under Corrosion and Alternating Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: First, a methodology was proposed for predicting the remaining life of buried gas pipelines subject to corrosion and cyclic loads. Variation in corrosion-defect depth was considered an exponential function of pipeline ...
Analysis of Compressive Characteristics of Asphalt Mixture under Freeze-Thaw Cycles in Cold Plateau Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low average temperature, large temperature difference, and continual freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles are the typical climatic characteristics of cold plateau regions. F-T cycles and the asphalt-aggregate ratio of an asphalt mixture ...
Study on the Influential Factors in and the Optimization of Asphalt Mixture Scanning with X-Ray CT Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of sample size, aggregate lithology, and compaction pattern on image scanning quality were determined using 225 kV industrial computer tomography equipment. Moreover, the scanning parameters of common Marshall ...
Global Warming–Induced Changes in El Niño Teleconnections over the North Pacific and North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: l Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) induces climate anomalies around the globe. Atmospheric general circulation model simulations are used to investigate how ENSO-induced teleconnection patterns during boreal winter might ...
Influences of ENSO-Induced Indo–Western Pacific SST Anomalies on Extratropical Atmospheric Variability during the Boreal Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The causes for the observed occurrence of anomalous zonally symmetric upper-level pressure ridges in the midlatitude belts of both hemispheres during the year after warm El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have been ...
Droplets Jumping from a Hybrid Superhydrophilic and Superhydrophobic Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wetting condition effect of the condensation process on a hybrid superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic copper surface as shown in Fig. 1a was experimentally investigated. The superhydrophilic surface (Fig. 1b) consists ...
Condensation and Wetting Behavior on Hybrid Superhydrophobic and Superhydrophilic Copper Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel hybrid superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic copper surface was fabricated using a lift-off process to integrate the benefits of dropwise and filmwise condensation together. The superhydrophilic surface was comprised ...
Dynamics of Asian Summer Monsoon Response to Anthropogenic Aerosol Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anthropogenic aerosols partially mask the greenhouse warming and cause the reduction in Asian summer monsoon precipitation and circulation. By decomposing the atmospheric change into the direct atmospheric response to ...
Comparison of Dry Sliding Tribological Behavior of Nanostructured Al2O3–13 wt% TiO2 Coatings Prepared by High-Efficiency Supersonic Plasma Spraying and Atmospheric Plasma Spraying
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings have been widely used in friction and wear protection of mechanical parts. In this paper, the nanostructured Al2O3–13 wt% TiO2 coatings were prepared by high-efficiency supersonic plasma ...
A Deep Convolutional Neural Network-Based Method for Self-Piercing Rivet Joint Defect Detection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The self-pierce riveting process for alloy materials has a wide range of applications in the automotive manufacturing industry. This will not only affect the operation performance but also cause accidents in severe cases ...
