RISReconstruction Designs of the Lost Structures of the Antikythera Mechanism With Two Degrees of Freedom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient astronomical instrument with various functions to indicate the date of the Egyptian calendar, display the motions of celestial bodies, calculate astronomical periods, and predict ...
Novel Configurations for Hybrid Transmissions Using a Simple Planetary Gear Train
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a design approach to systematically synthesize feasible configurations for series–parallel and parallel hybrid transmissions subject to design constraints and required operation modes using a simple ...
The Effect of Latitude on the Sea Breeze
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term (five-day) integrations of a nonlinear numerical model of the sea breeze at the equator, 20°N, 30°N and 45°N indicate the importance of latitude on the sea breeze circulation. During the hours of strong heating ...
The Effect of Variations in Surface Moisture on Mesoscale Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical Model with moist physics is used to simulate circulations induced by horizontal variations in surface-moisture availability. The model contains prognostic equations for water vapor, cloud water, ...
Kinematic and Dynamic Characteristics Design of a Variable Speed Machine With Slider–Crank and Screw Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designing the variableinput speed of an existing mechanism could improve the output kinematic and dynamic characteristics of a machine. Based on this concept, this paper proposes a method to improve the kinematic and dynamic ...
The Role of Barotropic Oscillations within Atmospheres of Highly Variable Refractive Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Among the various energy transfer mechanisms that might be relevant for teleconnections between tropical and higher latitudes, Rossby wave propagation is certainly one of the most important. In view of this, it is of ...
The Effect of Driving Method and Crank Arrangements on the Performance of a Reconstructed Ancient Chinese Wooden Horse Carriage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of driving method and crank arrangements on the performance of a reconstructed ancient Chinese wooden horse carriage. The results demonstrate better transmission ...
Dynamic Evaluation for Compaction Quality of Roller Compacted Concrete based on Reliability Metrics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The compaction quality of the compacted layer is a major concern of roller compacted concrete (RCC). Current compaction quality evaluation methods, such as testing random sampling spots or predicting with common models, ...
Numerical Investigation of the Scouring Effect on the Lateral Response of Piles in Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scouring around a bridge foundation is a problem of much concern to civil engineers. The main purpose of this paper is to gain more understanding of the effect of scouring around the pile on the lateral capacity of the ...
Interdecadal Change in the Effect of Spring Soil Moisture over the Indo-China Peninsula on the Following Summer Precipitation over the Yangtze River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The land surface energy exchange over the Indo-China Peninsula (ICP) is important for regulating regional weather and climate. This work investigates the effect of spring soil moisture (SM) over the ICP on the following ...
