RISImportance of Diabatic Heating for the Eastward-Moving Heavy Rainfall Events along the Yangtze River, China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study highlights the importance of the diabatic process in the heavy rainfall events (HREs) that are initiated on the eastern slope of the Tibetan Plateau and move to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin. These ...
Displacement Mapping of Point Clouds for Retaining Structure Considering Shape of Sheet Pile and Soil Fall Effects during Excavation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An entire large-scale retaining structure can be monitored by simulating a three-dimensional point cloud obtained by laser scanning. The behavior of a retaining structure composed of sheet piles according to excavation was ...
Formation of an Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Network Structure by In Situ Polymerization of Silicone to Protect Cultural Heritage Stonework
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Yujia Memorial Archway in Jixian County, Hunan Province, can be considered a typical weathered stone artifact. Different ratios of 3-glycidyl ether propyl trimethoxy silane (GPTMS), 3-amino propyl triethoxy silane (ATS), ...
Investigation and Control of Cracks in Wet Joint of Concrete Box Girders
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the causes of cracks in wet joints of continuous concrete box girders, we performed in situ analysis of the temperature and strain field of wet-joint concrete for a sea-crossing bridge under construction in ...
Computational Investigation of Fibrin Mechanical and Damage Properties at the Interface Between Native Cartilage and Implant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Scaffold-based tissue-engineered constructs as well as cell-free implants offer promising solutions to focal cartilage lesions. However, adequate mechanical stability of these implants in the lesion ...
A New Wire-Driven Three Degree-of-Freedom Parallel Manipulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper puts forward a new wire-driven parallel manipulator. The mechanism and implementation scheme are presented in detail. Some theoretical and simulation results are introduced briefly. A ...
Urban Effects on Regional Climate: A Case Study in the Phoenix and Tucson “Sun Corridor”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and-use and land-cover change (LULCC) due to urban expansion alter the surface albedo, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of the surface. Consequently, the energy balance in urban regions is different from that of ...
Enhancing Strength of MICP-Treated Sand with Scrap of Activated Carbon-Fiber Felt
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technique takes advantage of the metabolic process of bacteria bonding soil particles together with an environmentally-friendly and sustainable manner. In this study, ...
Adaptive Self-Learning Fuzzy Autopilot Design for Uncertain Bank-to-Turn Missiles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes an adaptive self-learning fuzzy autopilot design for uncertain bank-to-turn (BTT) missiles due to external disturbances and system errors from the variations of the aerodynamic coefficients and control ...
Nonlinear Dynamic Modeling for a Flexible Laminated Composite Appendage Attached to a Spacecraft Body Undergoing Deployment and Locking Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A nonlinear dynamic modeling method is developed for a deployment and locking mechanism composed of laminated composite appendage. Unlike most formulations of linear models which ignore coupled and nonlinear terms resulting ...
