RISCharacterization of Agitation Intensity in Flocculation Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is common practice in the design and evaluation of flocculation processes to use the velocity gradient determined from the mean power input (reported as G) as the principal indicator of agitation intensity. This practice ...
Vortex-Induced Vibration and Drag Coefficients of Long Cables Subjected to Sheared Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The vortex-induced vibration response of long cables subjected to vertically sheared flow was investigated in two field experiments. In a typical experiment, a weight was hung over the side of ...
Cyclic Capacity and Diving Potential of Novel Fish Anchor in Calcareous Silt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the performance of a novel dynamically installed fish anchor under cyclic operational loading in calcareous silt. The investigation was carried out through a series of centrifuge model tests. The results ...
Performance of a Novel Dynamically Installed Fish Anchor in Calcareous Silt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Diving upon pullout of an installed anchor leads to an increase in embedment depth and, hence, capacity under operational loadings. It is particularly critical for dynamically installed anchors (DIAs) in calcareous sediments ...

Abstract: Diving upon pullout of an installed anchor leads to an increase in embedment depth and, hence, capacity under operational loadings. It is particularly critical for dynamically installed anchors (DIAs) in calcareous sediments ...
Insight into the Behavior of a Caisson Anchor under Cyclic Loading in Calcareous Silt
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper provides insight into the behavior of a stiffened caisson anchor under inclined cyclic loading in calcareous silt. A series of tests was conducted in a beam centrifuge. A monotonic test was first performed, ...
A Simple Breakage Model for Calcareous Sand and Its FE Implementation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper reports the development of a particle breakage model within a finite-element (FE) framework based on the modified Mohr–Coulomb model (MMC). A modified form of the strength-dilatancy relationship is used to ...
Effect of the Intra-Abdominal Pressure and the Center of Segmental Body Mass on the Lumbar Spine Mechanics – A Computational Parametric Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Determination of physiological loads in human lumbar spine is critical for understanding the mechanisms of lumbar diseases and for designing surgical treatments. Computational models have been ...
Geotechnical Centrifuge Investigation of the Effectiveness of a Novel Spudcan in Easing Spudcan–Footprint Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The interaction between a spudcan and an existing footprint is one of the major concerns during the reinstallation of jack-up rigs. This paper reports the results from a series of centrifuge model tests undertaken to assess ...
