Investigating Occupancy-Driven Air-Conditioning Control Based on Thermal Comfort Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current air-conditioning systems often rely on maximum occupancy assumptions and fixed schedules to maintain a sufficient comfort level. Having knowledge regarding the occupancy situation may lead to significant energy ...
Seismic Performance of Cold-Formed Steel Shear Walls Using Corrugated Sheathing with Slits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study and numerical simulation analyzing the seismic performance of low- and midrise cold-formed steel-framed buildings using shear walls sheathed with corrugated steel sheets with slits. ...
Development of a Computational Framework for the Evaluation of Biodegradable Cerebral Stents With Enhanced Bending Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cerebral aneurysm disease has extremely high mortality and morbidity, which can be efficiently treated by implanting a vascular stent. However, due to relatively poor flexibility and biodegradability, current vascular ...
Design and Comparison of Solar Thermal Oilfield Steam Production System Plans
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parabolic trough solar concentrating technology is a new and clean way to replace the conventional fossil fuel technology to generate steam for heavy oil recovery in oilfield. A computational model was constructed with ...
Fuzzy Generalized Predictive Control for Nonlinear Brushless Direct Current Motor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the study, a novel fuzzy generalized predictive control (GPC) scheme is proposed for the stability control of nonlinear brushless DC motor (BLDCM). First, the fuzzy predictive model of BLDCM is presented via Takagi–Sugeno ...
Rainfall Retrieval and Nowcasting Based on Multispectral Satellite Images. Part I: Retrieval Study on Daytime 10-Minute Rain Rate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study develops a method for both precipitation area and intensity retrievals based on multispectral geostationary satellite images. This method can be applied to continuous observation of large-scale precipitation so ...
Rainfall Retrieval and Nowcasting Based on Multispectral Satellite Images. Part II: Retrieval Study on Daytime Half-Hour Rain Rate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o implement continuous and reliable rainfall retrieval, based on the satellite retrieval algorithm of 10-min rain rate, this study proposes an immediate tracking and continuous accumulation technique (ITCAT) of half-hour ...
Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm With Machine Learning and Local Search for an Energy-Efficient Disassembly Line Balancing Problem in Remanufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product disassembly is a vital element of recycling and remanufacturing processes. The disassembly line balancing problem (DLBP), i.e., how to assign a set of tasks to a disassembly workstation, is crucial for a product ...
