Test Method Development and Determination of Three-Dimensional Strength and Failure Modes of Polyvinyl Chloride Structural Foams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comprehensive study has been conducted to develop proper test methods for accurate determination of failure strengths along different material directions of closed-cell polymer-based structural foams under different ...
Three-Dimensional Permeability of Thick-Section Glass Fabric Reinforced Polymer Composite by Vacuum-Assisted Resin Infusion Molding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Determination of permeability of thick-section glass fabric preforms with fabric layers of different architectures is critical for manufacturing large, thick composite structures with complex geometry, such as wind turbine ...
Effect of Pile–Soil Interaction on Structural Dynamics of Large Moment Magnitude Scale Offshore Wind Turbines in Shallow Water Western Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of pile–soil interaction on structural dynamics is investigated for a large offshore wind turbine (OWT) in the hurricaneprone Western Gulf of Mexico (GOM) shallow water. The OWT has a rotor with three 100meter ...
Effects of Blade Pitch, Rotor Yaw, and Wind–Wave Misalignment on a Large Offshore Wind Turbine Dynamics in Western Gulf of Mexico Shallow Water in 100-Year Return Hurricane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To determine the optimal park configuration of a large offshore turbine in a hurricane, a study is conducted on effects of blade pitch and rotor yaw, and wind–wave misalignment, in a 100-year return hurricane on a 13.2-MW ...
A Mechanism-Based General Theory for Friction of PTFE/PEEK Composite: Effects of PTFE Morphology and Composite Microstructure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A combined experimental and analytical investigation is conducted to develop a mechanism-based general friction theory for PTFE/PEEK composite. The PTFE/PEEK composites with PTFE and PEEK volume contents ranged from 0% to ...
