Modeling the Effects of Speed Limit, Acceleration, and Deceleration on Overall Delay and Traffic Emission at a Signalized Intersection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a microscopic spatial-temporal method to capture the vehicle movement trajectories at an isolated intersection. A bi-objective programming model is presented to minimize the overall delay and emission ...
Fracture Assessment for Pressurized Water Reactor Vessel Nozzles Subjected to Pressure and Thermal Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To ensure the structure integrity of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) in pressure water reactor plants, the main challenge is the embrittlement of beltline materials. However, the stress at inlet or outlet nozzles of the ...
Compliance and Longitudinal Strain of Cardiovascular Stents: Influence of Cell Geometry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A systematic study on the influence of the cell geometry of a cardiovascular stent on its radial compliance and longitudinal strain is presented. Eight stent cell geometries—based on common ...
The Simulation and Assessment of Compressed Natural Gas Storage Well With Defects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline (petrol), diesel, or propane/LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Nowadays, there are three ways used to store CNG: gas bottles ...
Seasonal Variability of the Pacific South Equatorial Current during the Argo Era
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical Pacific currents from January 2004 to December 2018 are computed based on the gridded Argo temperatures and salinities using the P-vector method on an
