RISEnergy-Based Approach to Quantify Cyclic Resistance and Pore Pressure Generation in Anisotropically Consolidated Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In practical engineering, sand fills or deposits are often under an anisotropic stress condition. Thus, these soil elements sustain an initial static shear stress before being acted upon by cyclic loading because of traffic, ...
The Project for Intercomparison of Land-surface Parameterization Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Project for Intercomparison of Land-surface Parameterization Schemes (PILPS) is described and the first stage science plan outlined. PILPS is a project designed to improve the parameterization of the continental surface, ...
Unified Modeling of the Influence of Consolidation Conditions on Monotonic Soil Response Considering Fabric Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes an anisotropic plasticity model to address the effect of consolidation conditions on the responses of soils within the framework of the anisotropic critical state theory (ACST). Double-yield surfaces ...
Impact of Static Preshearing on Undrained Anisotropy and Shear Characteristics of Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The preshearing history of soil is a prominent factor governing its mechanical behavior at various loading conditions. An experimental program was developed to study the effects of preshearing at drained compression and ...
Ripening Growth Kinetics of Cu6Sn5 Grains in Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xTiO2/Cu Solder Joints During the Reflow Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ripening growth kinetics of interfacial Cu6Sn5 grains between Cu substrates and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xTiO2 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6 wt %) (SAC305-xTiO2) solders were investigated. The results show that the Cu6Sn5 ...
Effects of Averaging and Separating Soil Moisture and Temperature in the Presence of Snow Cover in a SVAT and Hydrological Model for a Southern Ontario, Canada, Watershed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The energy and water balances at the earth's surface are dramatically influenced by the presence of snow cover. Therefore, soil temperature and moisture for snow-covered and snow-free areas can be very different. In computing ...
Conjugate Heat Transfer Predictions for Subcooled Boiling Flow in a Horizontal Channel Using a Volume-of-Fluid Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accuracy of computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based heat transfer predictions have been examined of relevance to liquid cooling of IC engines at high engine loads where some nucleate boiling occurs. Predictions based ...
Control of Spray Evaporative Cooling in Automotive Internal Combustion Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel approach is proposed for precise control of two-phase spray evaporative cooling for thermal management of road vehicle internal combustion (IC) engines. A reduced-order plant model is first constructed by combining ...
Comparative Analyses of Physically Based Snowmelt Models for Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparative study of three snow models with different complexities was carried out to assess how a physically detailed snow model can improve snow modeling within general circulation models. The three models were (a) the ...
The Rhône-Aggregation Land Surface Scheme Intercomparison Project: An Overview
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Rhône-Aggregation (Rhône-AGG) Land Surface Scheme (LSS) intercomparison project is an initiative within the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX)/Global Land?Atmosphere System Study (GLASS) panel of the World ...
