RISAnalysis of Handling Stresses in Thin Solar Silicon Wafers Generated by a Rigid Vacuum Gripper
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Breakage of thin solar silicon wafers during handling and transport depends on the stresses imposed on the wafer by the handling/transport device. In this paper, the stresses generated in solar silicon wafers by a rigid ...

System Reliability Analysis With Second-Order Saddlepoint Approximation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The second-order saddlepoint approximation (SOSPA) has been used for component reliability analysis for higher accuracy than the traditional second-order reliability method (SORM). This work extends the second-order ...
Time- and Space-Dependent Reliability-Based Design With Envelope Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deterministic optimization may lead to unreliable design results if significant uncertainty exists. Including reliability constraints in reliability-based design (RBD) can solve such a problem. It is difficult to use current ...
System Reliability Analysis With Autocorrelated Kriging Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When limit-state functions are highly nonlinear, traditional reliability methods, such as the first-order and second-order reliability methods, are not accurate. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), on the other hand, is accurate ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Additive Manufacturing for Lithium Battery Silicon Anode
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the blooming of the electric vehicle market and the advancement in the lithium-ion battery industry, silicon anode has shown great potential for the next-generation battery. Using the state-of-the-art additive ...
Fluid Excitation Forces on a Tightly Packed Tube Bundle Subjected in Cross-Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fluid excitation forces acting on stationary cylinders with cross-flow are the coupling of vortex shedding and turbulence buffeting. Those forces are significant in the analytical framework of fluid-induced vibration in ...
Modeling Effective Thermal Conductivity of Thermal Radiation for Nuclear Packed Pebble Beds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In nuclear packed pebble beds, it is a fundamental task to model effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of thermal radiation. Based on the effective heat transfer cells of structured packing, a short-range radiation model ...
Particle-Scale Investigation of Thermal Radiation in Nuclear Packed Pebble Beds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the heat transfer of pebble or granular beds (e.g., high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR)), the particle thermal radiation is an important part. Using the subcell radiation model (SCM), which is a generic theoretical ...
A New Uniform Continuum Modeling of Conductive and Radiative Heat Transfer in Nuclear Pebble Bed
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radiative and conductive heat transfer is fairly important in the nuclear pebble bed. A continuum model is proposed here to derive the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of pebble bed. It is a physics-based equation ...
