RISTurbulence Measurements of a Longitudinal Vortex Generated by an Inclined Jet in a Turbulent Boundary Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A longitudinal vortex in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer was examined in a wind tunnel experiment using Laser Doppler Anemometry. The vortex was produced by an inclined round jet (D = ...
A New Method for Correcting Shadow Band Diffuse Irradiance Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An instrument commonly used to measure diffuse irradiance is the polar-axis shadow band pyranometer. However, the shadow band that is used to prevent the beam energy from entering the pyranometer ...
Fluid Inertia Effects on the Performance of Short and Long Squeeze Film Dampers Executing Periodic Vibration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comprehensive study is made to examine effects of fluid inertia on pressure distribution, load capacity, wall shear stress differences (defined in Nomenclature), and velocity variation of flow ...
Dynamic Response of Epon 828/T-403 Under Multiaxial Loading at Various Temperatures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical response and failure behavior of Epon 828/T-403 epoxy were experimentally obtained over a strain rate range of 1.7 × 10−5 to 4.7 × 103 s−1 and a temperature range of ...
Switching Control With Learning for a Class of Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Analytical details are developed for a robust adaptive control strategy that combines switching control and on-line adaptive learning, for a class of nonlinear systems. The condition for stable ...
Nearfield Evolution of a Longitudinal Vortex Generated by an Inclined Jet in a Turbulent Boundary Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The nearfield evolution of a longitudinal vortex embedded in a turbulent boundary layer was examined in a wind-tunnel test. The Vortex was produced by an inclined round jet, the diameter of ...
Mixing of a Generalized Newtonian Fluid in a Cavity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mixing of a generalized Newtonian fluid in a corotating discontinuous cavity flow is studied. The flow period and the rheological coefficients are used as parameters. Using geometrical construction ...
Novel Composite Beam Element with Bond-Slip for Nonlinear Finite-Element Analyses of Steel/FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new one-dimensional two-node layered composite beam element that accounts for the bond-slip between reinforcing bars and surrounding concrete is presented for nonlinear analysis of steel/fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ...
Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses of FRP-Strengthened Concrete Slabs under Fixed-Point Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite element model denoted as FEM-C is developed in this paper for prediction of structural responses of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–strengthened concrete slabs under fixed-point cyclic load. First, a finite element ...
Critical Condition Modeling and Analysis in TMDL Development and Implementation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The USEPA’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program under the Clean Water Act requires taking into account the critical conditions for stream flow, loading, and water quality parameters to develop TMDLs. However, properly ...
