Analytical Solution for Diffusion of VOCs through Composite Landfill Liners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for analyzing volatile organic compound (VOC) diffusion through intact composite landfill liners for two scenarios with boundary conditions at the base of either a VOC concentration of ...
Analytical Solutions for Contaminant Diffusion in Double-Layered Porous Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analytical solutions for conservative solute diffusion in one-dimensional double-layered porous media are presented in this paper. These solutions are applicable to various combinations of fixed solute concentration and ...
All-Atomic Modeling of the Compaction of Montmorillonite Clays: Fabric Evolution and Energy Conversion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compaction is an essential compression process for sedimentary soils. Compared with in-depth studies on granular soil behaviors, numerical modeling of clay compaction is still in its infancy. This study presents an all-atomic ...
Stability of Slurry Trenches with Inclined Ground Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method for assessing stability of slurry trenches within an inclined ground surface is presented using the Coulomb-type force equilibrium method. The influence of ground surface inclination on trench stability and angle ...
Cloud Cavitating Flow That Surrounds a Vertical Hydrofoil Near the Free Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Unstable cavitation presents an important speed barrier for underwater vehicles such as hydrofoil craft. In this paper, the authors concern about the physical problem about the cloud cavitating flow that surrounds an ...
Large Eddy Simulation of Unsteady Cavitating Flow Around a Highly Skewed Propeller in Nonuniform Wake
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Unsteady cavitating flows around propellers become increasingly prominent on large-scale and high-speed ships, but large eddy simulations (LES) are limited in the literature. In this study, numerical simulation of an ...
Viscoelastic–Viscoplastic Cyclic Deformation of Polycarbonate Polymer: Experiment and Constitutive Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A series of uniaxial tests (including multilevel loading–unloading recovery, creeprecovery, and cyclic tension–compression/tension ones) were performed to investigate the monotonic and cyclic viscoelastic–viscoplastic ...
Time Dependent Uniaxial Ratchetting of Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene Polymer: Viscoelastic–Viscoplastic Constitutive Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Uniaxial tension–unloading recovery, creeprecovery, and stresscontrolled cyclic tests are first performed to investigate the recoverable viscoelasticity and irrecoverable viscoplasticity (including the uniaxial ratchetting) ...
Uniaxial Ratchetting of Filled Rubber: Experiments and Damage-Coupled Hyper-Viscoelastic-Plastic Constitutive Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A series of stress-controlled uniaxial cyclic tension-unloading tests are discussed to investigate the ratchetting of a filled rubber at room temperature. It is shown that obvious ratchetting occurs and depends apparently ...
Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Validation for the Performance of Soil–Bentonite Cutoff Walls Considering Chemical Compatibility
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The soil–bentonite cutoff wall (SB wall) is commonly employed as a barrier at contaminated sites. However, recent research has revealed that the performance of the SB wall material can significantly deteriorate due to the ...
