RISOne to One Nonlinear Internal Resonance of Sensor Diaphragm Under Initial Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, investigations into the nonlinear asymmetric vibrations of a pressure sensor diaphragm under initial tension are presented. A comprehensive mechanics model based on a plate with inplane tension is presented ...
Tabu Search Strategies for Variable Speed Limit Control at a Lane Drop Bottleneck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A tabu search–based algorithm is developed in this study and applied for optimizing a variable speed limit (VSL) control system. A macroscopic traffic flow model is used to predict the traffic states over the prediction ...
Optimal Variable Speed Limit Control at a Lane Drop Bottleneck: Genetic Algorithm Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops a genetic algorithm (GA) approach to solving the variable speed limit (VSL) control problem at a lane drop bottleneck. A multiobjective nonlinear integer model is formulated for the VSL control. The ...
Filmwise to Dropwise Condensation Transition Enabled by Patterned High Wetting Contrast
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent advances in condensing surfaces with hybrid architectures of superhydrophobic/hydrophilic patterns allow us to decrease the nucleation energy barrier and spatially control the water condensation. However, the condensed ...
On the Assessment of a Cooling Tower Scheme for High-Resolution Numerical Weather Modeling for Urban Areas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA cooling tower scheme that quantifies the sensible and latent anthropogenic heat fluxes released from buildings was coupled to an operational forecasting system [Rapid Refresh Multiscale Analysis and Prediction ...
Product Perceptual Similarity Evaluation: From Attributive Error to Human Knowledge Hierarchy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A crucial part of any recommendation system for manufactured goods is the method used to evaluate the similarity of products. However, despite being central to the performance of many online retailers, current ways of ...
Modeling the Dynamic Vegetation–Climate System over China Using a Coupled Regional Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing the Regional Climate Model (RegCM) coupled with the Community Land Model (CLM) including modules of carbon?nitrogen cycling (CN) and vegetation dynamics (DV), this study evaluates the performance of the model ...
A General Method for Quantifying the Shear Strength Anisotropy of Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although extensive investigations have been performed on soil anisotropy, little information is available regarding its quantification. The quantification of anisotropy reflects the extent to which the inherent anisotropy ...

Field Aging Characterization of Asphalt Pavement Based on the Artificial Neural Networks and Gray Relational Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate characterization of field aging of asphalt pavement is critical to precisely assessing its in-service performance. However, most of the traditional test/predictive methods either cannot fully capture the field ...
