Modeling of Plane Strain Fatigue Crack Closure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanisms and models proposed for plane strain fatigue crack closure are evaluated. A mechanism based on out-of-plane plastic strain component, εz p , in plane strain is shown not to be ...
Bioprinting Endothelial Cells With Alginate for 3D Tissue Constructs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Advanced solid freeform fabrication (SFF) techniques have been an interest for constructing tissue engineered polymeric scaffolds because of its repeatability and capability of high accuracy in ...
Least-Squares Support Vector Machine Based on Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm in a Short-Term Load Forecasting Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To improve the accuracy of short-term load forecasting, a least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) method based on improved imperialist competitive algorithm through differential evolution algorithm (ICADE) is proposed ...
Transitional Spatial Structure with Development of Economic Clusters: The Case of Beijing
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The world economy has witnessed the proliferation of economic clusters and the growth of transitioning economies. This study attempts to further understand the roles that economic clusters play in the evolving urban economic ...
Influence of Addition of Polycarboxylate-Based Superplasticizer on Properties of High Performance Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Nowadays, polycarboxylate-based (PCA) superplasticizer (SP) has become the basic ingredient to prepare high-performance concrete (HPC). PCA SP with carboxylic sulfonic groups and long poly (ethylene oxide) side chain was ...
Application of Computational Biomechanics in Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For more than 40years, the replacement of diseased natural heart valves with prosthetic devices has dramatically improved the quality and length of the lives of millions of patients. Bioprosthetic ...
Warping Analysis in Laminated Object Manufacturing Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents an analysis of warping that occurs in the laminated object manufacturing process. Based on the study of thermal-mechanical behavior of the adhesive and its effect on the ...
Simulated Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Deformation under Quasi-Static Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For more than 40years, the replacement of diseased natural heart valves with prosthetic devices has dramatically extended the quality and length of the lives of millions of patients worldwide. ...
Analysis of the Variability of Project Cost and Schedule Performance in the Design-Build Environment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Design-build (DB) projects are getting more implementations in the United States. Several studies indicate that the DB project delivery system has advantages in project cost and schedule performance. Despite having comparative ...
Effects of Mill Scale and Steel Type on Passivation and Accelerated Corrosion Behavior of Reinforcing Steels in Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The influence of mill scale and steel type on the passivation capability and impressed current-induced accelerated corrosion behavior of reinforcing steels in concrete was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy ...
