Efficient Inelasticity-Separated Finite-Element Method for Material Nonlinearity Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Material nonlinearity analyses are widely used to determine the safety of structural components or engineering structures. Although advanced computer hardware technology has considerably improved the computational performance ...
Singularity Issues in Fixture Fault Diagnosis for Multi-Station Assembly Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method of diagnosing variance components of process error sources in singular manufacturing systems. The singularity problem is studied and the cause examined in the context ...
Fault Diagnosis of Multistage Manufacturing Processes by Using State Space Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for diagnostics of fixture failures in multistage manufacturing processes (MMP). The diagnostic methodology is based on the state-space model of the MMP process, ...
Impact of Improved Accessibility on Shopping Activity: Person-Based Measure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accessibility has long been considered as an important factor that influences activity generation, especially nonwork activities. However, the conclusions on whether greater accessibility leads to more travel have been ...
Diagnosability Analysis of Multi-Station Manufacturing Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Variation propagation in a multi-station manufacturing process (MMP) is described by the theory of “Stream of Variation.” Given that the measurements are obtained via certain sensor distribution ...
Design Evaluation of Multi-station Assembly Processes by Using State Space Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper considers the problem of evaluating and benchmarking process design configuration in a multi-station assembly process. We focus on the unique challenges brought by the multi-station ...
Prediction and Evaluation of Grain Size-Dependent Maximum Dry Density for Gravelly Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although the influence of gradation on soil properties has been recognized, the grain sizes have not yet been fully considered in maximum dry density (MDD) evaluation and prediction. This study explores the impacts of full ...
Mechanisms and Efficiency of Removal of Opportunistic Pathogens in Secondary Effluent by Slow Filtration and Disinfection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although the reuse of reclaimed water is one of the ways to solve the water crisis, secondary effluents still contain opportunistic pathogens that pose a potential threat to human health. Herein, we use slow filtration-d ...
Optimal Parameter Selection for Electronic Packaging Using Sequential Computer Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimal parameter selection is a crucial step in improving the quality of electronic packaging processes. Traditional approaches usually start with a set of physical experiments and then employ ...
Sign Constrained Bayesian Inference for Nonstationary Models of Extreme Events
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recent studies show that many of the extreme events in hydrology can be modeled more realistically by means of a nonstationary generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. However, existing approaches for estimating the ...
