RISRoles of Western and Eastern Boundary Reflections in the Interannual Sea Level Variations during Negative Indian Ocean Dipole Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equatorial wave dynamics of sea level variations during negative Indian Ocean dipole (nIOD) events are investigated using the LICOM ocean general circulation model forced with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather ...
A Phenomenological Model for Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of X70 Pipeline Steel in H2S Corrosive Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Long distance pipeline transmission is considered to be the most economic and safest method to transport natural gas in recent days. The pipeline safety problem is a focus of concern in the academic and industrial circles. ...
Redundancy Allocation for Reliability Design of Engineering Systems With Failure Interactions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimal allocation of redundancies is one of the most important ways of improving system reliability. Generally, in these redundancy allocation problems, it is assumed that failures of components are independent. However, ...
Redundancy Allocation Optimization for Multistate Systems With Failure Interactions Using Semi Markov Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Failure interactions and multiple states are two common phenomena in engineering systems. However, most of the redundancy allocation problems assume binary states and ignore failure interactions, which will cause inaccurate ...
Redundancy Allocation for Multistate Systems With Component Dependencies and Load Sharing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Binary-state and component independent assumptions will lead to doubtful and misleading redundancy allocation schemes which may not satisfy the reliability requirements for real engineering applications. Most published ...
Boundary Slip-Induced Temperature Rise and Film Thickness Reduction Under Sliding/Rolling Contact in Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Temperature rise and film thickness reduction are the most important factors in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). In the EHL contact area, interfacial resistances (velocity/thermal slips) induced by the molecular ...
Point Contact Thermal Mixed Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Under Short-Period Intermittent Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To improve mechanical efficiency, the tribological performance of short-period intermittent motion needs to be investigated. Based on the theory of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) and considering the influences ...
Effect of Variable Load on Centralized Dimple in an Opposite Sliding Condition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In ball bearings without a cage, adjacent balls exhibit a zero-entrainment velocity (ZEV) contact condition, which is worse than typical pure rolling or rolling–sliding contact, and the contact between adjacent balls under ...
Robust Response of the East Asian Monsoon Rainband to Solar Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study provides evidence of the robust response of the East Asian monsoon rainband to the 11-yr solar cycle and first identify the exact time period within the summer half-year (1958?2012) with the strongest correlation ...
Topology Configuration of Actuator Failure Mode of a Novel Quadruped Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fault tolerance is an important characteristic of quadruped robots. Actuator failure mode is the basis for research of fault tolerance and motion planning of quadruped robots. In this paper, the combination of actuator ...
