Virtual Prototyping and Motion Simulation with ADAMS
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: ADAMS® is a commercially available virtual prototyping and motion simulation software, which allows the user to model a mechanical system, and mathematically simulate and visualize its 3D ...
Using Soft Computing to Analyze Inspection Results for Bridge Evaluation and Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The national bridge inventory (NBI) system, a database of visual inspection records that tallies the condition of bridge elements, is used by transportation agencies to manage the rehabilitation of the aging U.S. highway ...
Improvement of Poststall Performance of NACA 0015 Airfoil Using Leading-Edge Synthetic Jet Array
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to explore the control effect of a synthetic jet actuator array placed at the leading edge of a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0015 airfoil at two Reynolds numbers ...
The Characteristics of a Novel AfterBurner Used for MetalSupported Planar SOFC System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel afterburner used for the heatup and normal operating conditions of a metalsupported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system, is designed and experimentally studied in this paper. The burner construction and the ...
Investigations of the Effect of Artificial Rainfall on the Pore Water Pressure and Slope Surface Displacement of Loess Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Understanding the rainfall-triggering mechanisms influencing loess landslides and developing targeted prevention and control strategies are critical challenges in engineering. This study focused on a representative ...
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Shear Transfer Mechanisms in GFRP-RC Deep Beams without Stirrups
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study focuses on the shear transfer mechanisms of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP)-RC deep beams without stirrups and proposes a unified shear model applicable to both steel- and FRP-RC deep beams. Seven concrete ...
Influence of Off Gas Recirculation on the Intermediate Temperature SOFC With Partial Oxidation Reformer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a clean and efficient energy utilization technology. Partial oxidation reforming (POX) can be used to simplify the SOFC system structure, but its lower hydrogen production rate deteriorates ...
Capacity Change of Piles in Loess under Cyclic Axial Tension or Compression Load
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examines the capacity of single piles subjected to cyclic axial tension or compression load in the loess area under in situ compaction degree and extruding conditions. Four cyclic tension and compression loading ...
Improved Analytical Method for Stabilizing Piles in Loess Slope Considering Nonlinear Pile–Soil Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In loess slopes, landslides are easily caused by rainfall and can be prevented by using retaining structures of stabilizing piles. This paper investigated the deformation and mechanical behaviors of the cantilever and fully ...
Compressive Deformation Characteristics of Sintered Loess after Being Saturated with Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Addressing the challenges of wet and soft loess foundations is crucial in geotechnical engineering due to their inherent low strength and high compressibility. High-temperature sintering technology is a leading method for ...
