Implementation of the Interactive Bicycle Simulator with Its Functional Subsystems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When equipped with a handlebar and pedal force display subsystem, motion-generating subsystem, and visual subsystem, the interactive bicycle simulator can bring riders a realistic cycling feeling. ...
A Simplified Continuum Particle Model Bridging Interatomic Potentials and Elasticity of Solids
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A continuum particle model correlates the interatomic potential of a crystal lattice with the elastic moduli of the solid, in which discrete atoms are modeled by perfectly bonded continuum particles, named singum, to ...
Improved Singum Model Based on Finite Deformation of Crystals with the Thermodynamic Equation of State
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The recently published simplified singum model has been improved by using the thermodynamics-based equation of state (EOS) of solids to derive a new interatomic potential based on elastic constants. The finite deformation ...
Eigenfrequency Computation of Beam/Plate Carrying Concentrated Mass/Spring
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the adsorption of analyte on the resonator mass sensor, the system eigenfrequencies will shift due to the changes of inertial mass and structural rigidity. How to model those changes and ...
Surface Wind Speed over Land: A Global View
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper provides a global analysis of surface wind speed (SWS) based on data from 1506 weather stations. It is found that the local variation in monthly normal SWS can generally be captured as a sine function of calendar ...
Discussion of “Equivalent Static Wind Loads on Buildings: New Model” by Xinzhong Chen and Ahsan Kareem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Assessing Walkability in the City of Buffalo: Application of Agent-Based Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Significant research has been conducted on how environmental attributes influence people’s decisions to walk. In much of this research, however, environmental attributes are averaged for neighborhoods or census geographies ...
Genetic-Algorithms-Based Approach for Bilevel Programming Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many decision-making problems in transportation system planning and management can be formulated as bilevel programming models, which are intrinsically nonconvex and hence difficult to solve for the global optimum. Therefore, ...
A Practical Bayesian Framework for Structural Model Updating and Prediction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the influence of various uncertain factors, there will inevitably be certain errors between the prediction of finite-element (FE) model and observed data for a target structure. It is thus necessary to calibrate the ...
Heave Motion Induced Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Full-Scale Steel Lazy Wave Riser
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deepwater steel lazy wave risers (SLWR) subject to vessel motion will be exposed to time-varying oscillatory flow, vortices could be generated and the cyclic vortex-shedding force causes the structure vibrate, such ...
