RISFurther Tests on Beam-to-Column Connections for Pultruded Frames: Web-Cleated
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three full-sized physical tests have been conducted to understand the performance of existing beam-to-column connection details for simple frames of pultruded profiles. Experimental moment-rotation curves have been obtained ...
Further Tests of Beam-to-Column Connections for Pultruded Frames: Flange-Cleated
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Four full-sized physical tests have been conducted to determine the behavior of semirigid beam-to-column connections for frames of pultruded profiles. The tests were on 203 mm (8 in.) sized joints with connection details ...
Boundary Shear in Rectangular Ducts and Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of the equation for the lateral distribution of boundary shear starts from a simplified streamwise vorticity equation which includes only the secondary Reynolds stress terms. Transverse anisotropy is modeled ...
Design Analysis of Ship Steering Gear Control Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents design analyses of ship steering gear control systems. Emphasis is placed on compressibility, leakage, friction, hydrodynamic damping, limiter and relay aspects of systems design. ...
A Finite Element Analysis For Stiffness of Fixture Units
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a systematic finite element model to predict the fixture unit stiffness by introducing nonlinear contact elements on the contact surface between fixture components. The contact ...
Time Domain Simulation of Ship Steering Gear Control Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Considering the effects of oil compressibility, leakage, hydrodynamic damping and friction, in addition to other nonlinearities, such as bang-bang relay, pump saturation and limiters of oil pressure ...
Extrema Prediction and Fatigue Assessment of Highly Non-Gaussian Random Processes Using a Homogenous Reproduction Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Given a limited number of time histories of a non-Gaussian random process, it is of interest to reproduce a much greater number of samples while retaining homogenous statistical characteristics. In structural engineering, ...
Experimental Study of Wave Run-Up on Tripod Offshore Wind-Turbine Foundations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For the design of offshore wind turbines, the airgap height of a service platform above still water level (SWL) is dependent on the maximum level of wave run-up in seas. A number of laboratory model tests were carried out ...
Evaluating Cutting Fluid Effects on Cylinder Boring Surface Errors by Inverse Heat Transfer and Finite Element Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sets of dry and wet boring experiments are conducted to estimate the amount of heat transferred into the workpiece and the cutting fluid heat convection coefficient in a boring operation by ...
Effect of Gravity on Liquid Plug Transport Through an Airway Bifurcation Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many medical therapies require liquid plugs to be instilled into and delivered throughout the pulmonary airways. Improving these treatments requires a better understanding of how liquid distributes ...
