RISAxisymmetric Deformation of a Pressurized Thin Elastic Membrane with Nonuniform Thickness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many circular elastic membranes used in practice involve nonuniform thickness, which is a main source of error that affects the functionality of the membrane. An analytical framework is developed in this paper to solve the ...
Microfluidic Channels Formed by Collapse of Soft Stamp
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fabricating straight and robust micro- or nanofluidic channels with an adjustable cross-section area represents a challenge for conventional fabrication techniques. Recently, it was discovered that when a soft elastomeric ...
Effect of Pressure on Heat Transfer to a Particle Exposed to a Thermal Plasma
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study is concerned with the effect of reduced pressure on heat transfer to particulate matter injected into a thermal plasma. Reduced pressures in conjunction with the high temperature in ...
Flow Transition Behavior of the Wetting Flow Between the Film Flow and Rivulet Flow on an Inclined Wall
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas-liquid two-phase interfacial flows, such as the liquid film flows (also known as wetting flows on walls), are observed in many industrial processes including absorption, desorption, distillation, ...
Effects of Aquifer Anisotropy on the Migration of Infiltrated Stream Water to a Pumping Well
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pumping of groundwater near a stream can induce infiltration of stream water into the surrounding aquifers. Analysis of the migration of the infiltrated stream water to the pumping well is important to better understand ...
Nanomechanics Modeling and Simulation of Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been perceived as having a great potential in nanoelectronic and nanomechanical devices. Recent advances of modeling and simulation at the nanoscale have led to a better understanding of the ...
Spherical Indentation on an Elastic Coating/Substrate System: Determining Substrate Modulus
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A vast amount of indentation studies on coating/substrate systems focused on extracting the mechanical properties of the film, by either avoiding or subtracting off the substrate effect. However, in engineering and biomedical ...
Simulation of Climate Change Impacts on Streamflow in the Bosten Lake Basin Using an Artificial Neural Network Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Impacts of climate change on water resource in the Bosten Lake basin in the south slope of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, China, were evaluated using an artificial neural network model. The model was trained using the ...
Geotechnical Strain Localization Analysis Based on Micropolar Continuum Theory Considering Evolution of Internal Characteristic Length
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Within the framework of second-order cone programming optimized micropolar continuum finite-element method (CosFEM-SOCP), the geotechnical strain localization can be adequately modeled. In most existing literatures, however, ...
Influence of Burner Mass-Flow Rate Bias and Injection Direction Offset on High-Temperature Corrosion and Combustion in a 660-MW Opposed Swirling-Fired Boiler
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Low-NOx combustion with deep air staging technology is commonly adopted to reduce NOx emissions in coal-fired power plants. However, introducing deep air staging results in a strong-reducing atmosphere, which may cause ...
