Empirical Study of Fractal Characteristics of Traffic Time Series
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to analyze the fractal characteristics of traffic flow under synchronized, jam and free conditions, the complexity of traffic flow was depicted by using correlation dimension, the long—term dependence of traffic ...
Topology Configuration of Actuator Failure Mode of a Novel Quadruped Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fault tolerance is an important characteristic of quadruped robots. Actuator failure mode is the basis for research of fault tolerance and motion planning of quadruped robots. In this paper, the combination of actuator ...
New Perspective on Regional Inequality: Theory and Evidence from Guangdong, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: China’s open-door policy and rapid urbanization have been accompanied by an unprecedented economic growth rate and an expanding regional inequality problem. Which factors affect the regional inequality? Will it get worse? ...
Significant Enhancement of Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer by Misaligned Bilayer Heterostructure of Graphene-Covered Gratings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The near-field radiative heat transfer of heterostructure consisting of SiC gratings and graphene is investigated in this work. The rigorous coupled-wave analysis is employed to calculate the spectral heat flux. Nevertheless, ...
Multidisciplinary Optimization of a Mixed-Flow Impeller With 140 Parameters and Its Shapley Additive Explanations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In recent years, we have made several improvements to the geometric parameterization method, the surrogate model method, and the sampling method, with the goal of making the traditional surrogate model-based optimization ...
Deformation Behavior of Topographic Unsymmetrical Loaded Tunnels and Their Pre-Reinforcements after Excavation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study used FLAC to simulate the excavation of unsymmetrical loaded tunnels with various transversal gradients, surrounding rock grades, and thicknesses of side covering soil by considering all factors that affect these ...
Identification of Damage in Cantilever Retaining Wall Based on Flexibility-difference Mean Curvature
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To solve the problem of identification damage in a cantilever retaining wall, a damage identification method for such a wall, based on the flexibility-difference mean curvature, is proposed. The concept of mean curvature ...
Wave-Induced Dynamic Response in a Poroelastic Seabed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution for the wave-induced dynamic response in a poroelastic seabed. The water waves are described by linear wave theory. The seabed was modeled using Biot theory, where the inertia ...
Reconstruction of the Force Applied to a Plate in the Time Domain From Sound Pressure Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a non-contact approach to reconstruct the distributed or concentrated force applied to a plate in the time domain. This approach is based on sound pressure measurements and is realized by coupling the ...
Failure in Two-Dimensional Materials: Defect Sensitivity and Failure Criteria
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted a great deal of attention recently owing to their fascinating structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. The failure phenomena in 2D materials can be diverse and ...
