RISRemoval of 1,2 Dibromo‐3‐Chloropropane by Countercurrent Cascade Air Stripping
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple modification of the conventional countercurrent air‐stripping process is proposed as “cascade air stripping” for cost‐effective removal of volatile organic contaminants from water. The feasibility of cascade air ...
Evaluation of Cascade Air Stripping Pilot—Scale and Prototype Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple modification of the conventional countercurrent air‐stripping process, introduced as cascade air stripping, is proposed for cost‐effective removal of semi‐ and low‐volatile organic contaminants from water. This ...
Fully Coupled 10-Degree-of-Freedom Beam Theory for Piecewise Straight Thin-Walled Beams with General Quadrilateral Cross Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fully coupled 10-degree-of-freedom (DOF) beam theory is developed for the analysis of thin-walled closed piecewise straight beams of general quadrilateral cross sections. The developed beam theory can predict the structural ...
Exact Matching Condition at a Joint of Thin-Walled Box Beams Under Out-of-Plane Bending and Torsion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To take into account the flexibility resulting from sectional deformations of a thin-walled box beam, higher-order beam theories considering warping and distortional degrees of freedom (DOF) in ...
Design Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms Consisting of Standardized Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We developed a design method to configure optimal compliant mechanisms consisting of standardized elements such as semirigid beams, hubs, and joints. In the proposed design approach, mechanism ...
Method for Determining Ice Undercut Temperature of Deicing Chemicals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In our previous research of freeze-thaw cycle corrosion tests on rebars with various deicing chemicals, the observed freezing points of some chemicals were not low enough to be effective deicers. Also, published data on ...
Application of a Ground Beam-Joint Topology Optimization Method for Multi-Piece Frame Structure Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a multipiece frame structure is designed, not only its topological layout but also assembly locations should be determined. This paper presents a compliance-minimizing topology optimization ...
Optimization of Support Locations of Beam and Plate Structures Under Self-Weight by Using a Sprung Structure Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To find support locations minimizing uneven deformation is an important design issue in a large plate under self-weight. During the imprinting process of LCD panels, for instance, a large ...
The Spring-Connected Rigid Block Model Based Automatic Synthesis of Planar Linkage Mechanisms: Numerical Issues and Remedies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Because it is difficult to select in advance an appropriate linkage for converting an input motion to a desired output motion, a linkage synthesis method that does not require any baseline ...
A Study on the Sound Quality Evaluation Model of Mechanical Air-Cleaners
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In operating the air-cleaner for a long time, people in a quiet enclosed space expect low sound at low operational levels for a routine cleaning of air. However, in the condition of high ...
