Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Aerodynamic Performance of Low-Pressure Axial Fans With Small Hub-to-Tip Diameter Ratio
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rotor-only ducted axial fans with small hub-to-tip diameter ratio are widely used in many branches of industry, especially for cooling and ventilation purposes. For such fans, extensive regions of backflow are present ...
Robust Fixed-Time Integral Sliding Mode Control of a Nonlinear Hydraulic Turbine Regulating System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hydraulic turbine regulating system (HTRS) plays an important role in the safe and stable operation of hydropower stations. In this paper, a fixed-time integral sliding mode controller (FTISMC) is designed to make the ...
Design for High Efficiency of Low-Pressure Axial Fans With Small Hub-to-Tip Diameter Ratio by the Vortex Distribution Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Axial fans with a small hub-to-tip diameter ratio (HTR) are widely used in industry, especially for cooling and ventilation purposes. The optimization of their aerodynamic performance is important, for which the vortex ...
Integrated Control of Thermally Induced Vibration and Quasi Static Deformation of Space Truss
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic vibration and quasistatic deformation will occur simultaneously for flexible space structures subjected to sudden thermal loads. In this paper, the integrated controller based on modified positive position feedback ...
Effects of Cross-Sectional Size and Shape on the Longitudinal Tensile and Anchoring Properties of CFRP Cables
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) is very suitable for use as a prestressed cable and can replace conventional steel cables in cable roofs. In engineering practice, the anchoring length increases rapidly as the ...
Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Steel-Block Shear Connectors in Assembled Monolithic Steel–Concrete Composite Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To study the shear behavior of the steel-block shear connector (SBSC) welded on a steel beam, eight push-out experiments were conducted, including two specimens with cast-in-place (CIP) concrete decks and six specimens ...
Cold-Formed Steel Shear Wall Using Corrugated Steel Sheathing with Slits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent research shows that shear walls with corrugated steel sheathing demonstrate high strength and high initial stiffness but low ductility. This paper presents an experimental study and numerical simulation aimed at ...
RMPC-Based Directional Stability Control for Electric Vehicles Subject to Tire Blowout on Curved Expressway
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a directional stability control based on robust tube-based model predictive control (RMPC) approach for an overactuated electric vehicle after tire blowout on curved expressway, in the presence of the ...
Improved Interfacial Property of Na3V2(PO4)3@C Cathode: Application of NaODFB-Based Ether Electrolyte in Sodium-Ion Batteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sodium-ion batteries are considered as one of the most promising energy storage technologies that may replace lithium-ion batteries in the future. NaODFB, a new chelated sodium salt with the specific structural, has not ...
Experimental and Numerical Study on the Flat-Plate Film Cooling Enhancement Using the Vortex Generator Downstream for the Fan-Shaped Hole Configuration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The shaped hole is the significant advancement for improving film cooling that has been practically achieved. This present study puts forward a new design combining the vortex generator (VG) with the shaped hole (FV). To ...
