RISLife Cycle Cost Assessment of Seismically Base Isolated Large Tanks in Liquefied Natural Gas Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new methodology is being introduced to address the lifecycle cost (LCC) of baseisolated large liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks. The relationship between LCC and seismic fortification intensity was established to evaluate ...
Prediction of Asphalt Pavement Responses from FWD Surface Deflections Using Soft Computing Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study predicts asphalt pavement responses from surface deflections under falling weight deflectometer (FWD) loading using soft computing methods. Finite-element (FE) models are developed and validated considering ...
Development of Coupled Program fast-simdyn and Study of Non-Linear Hydrodynamics, Coupled With Negative Damping and Aerodynamics of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Non-linear hydrostatic and wave forces on floating structures are very important during large amplitude waves. The computer program simdyn is a blended time domain program developed by Marine Dynamics Laboratory at TAMU ...
Numerical Simulations of Shelterbelt Effects on Wind Direction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A neutral boundary layer nonhydrostatic numerical model is used to determine the characteristics of shelterbelt effects on mean wind direction and to study the processing causing wind rotation when air passes through a ...
Model-Simulated Influences of Shelterbelt Shape on Wind-Sheltering Efficiency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors report results of a numerical model used to simulate wind and turbulence fields for porous, living shelterbelts with seven different cross-sectional shapes. The simulations are consistent with results of Woodruff ...
