A Learning Variable Structure Controller of a Flexible One-Link Manipulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, tip regulation of a flexible one-link manipulator by Learning Variable Structure Control (LVSC) is investigated. Switching surface is designed according to a selected reference ...
Application of Axiomatic Design Theory to a Microfluidic Device for the Production of Uniform Water-in-Oil Microspheres Adapting an Integration Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work describes a novel microfluidic method to generate uniform water-in-oil (W/O) microspheres using the phase separation technique. Axiomatic design theory (ADT) was employed for the conceptual ...
Three-Dimensional Direct-Shear Behaviors of a Gravel–Structure Interface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Gravel–structure interfaces exist widely in civil engineering practices, and their mechanical behaviors are crucial items in soil–structure interaction analysis. The interfaces are always characterized by three-dimensional ...
Vibration Serviceability Assessment for Pedestrian Bridges Based on Model Falsification
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the development of new materials and advanced structural analysis, alongside increasing aesthetic requirements, recent years have witnessed a trend toward longer, taller, and lighter footbridges. Different from vehicular ...
Performance of the Chlorobenzene Destruction with Nonthermal Plasma: Effects of the Gas Conditions and the Gas Components
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is a promising technology for the decomposition of chlorobenzene (CB), but many conditions will affect the performance of NTP. The effects of gas temperature, relative humidity, oxygen content, ...
An Improvement of Roughness Height Parameterization of the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) over the Tibetan Plateau
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oughness height for heat transfer is a crucial parameter in the estimation of sensible heat flux. In this study, the performance of the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) has been tested and evaluated for typical land ...
Evaluation of Noah Frozen Soil Parameterization for Application to a Tibetan Meadow Ecosystem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study evaluates the Noah land surface model (LSM) in its ability to simulate water and heat exchanges over frozen ground in a Tibetan meadow ecosystem. A comprehensive dataset including in situ micrometeorological and ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Strengthened with New Prestressed Carbon-Basalt Hybrid Fiber Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The prestressed fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening technique has been demonstrated to be an effective method to improve the effectiveness of FRP materials and the performance of the strengthened members under ...
Assessment of Roughness Length Schemes Implemented within the Noah Land Surface Model for High-Altitude Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urrent land surface models still have difficulties with producing reliable surface heat fluxes and skin temperature (Tsfc) estimates for high-altitude regions, which may be addressed via adequate parameterization of the ...
