From Material Selection to Structural Topology Optimization: Sustainable Product Design Based on Carbon Footprint Allocation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Climate change and the continuous increase of greenhouse gas concentration have a great impact on the human economy and society. Dozens of countries and regions have proposed the climate goal of “zero carbon” or “carbon ...
Decadal Variability in the North Pacific and North Atlantic under Global Warming: The Weakening Response and Its Mechanism
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We investigate the response of decadal variability in the North Pacific and North Atlantic under global warming and its mechanism in this study. To do so, we use four models (BCC-CSM1–1, CCSM4, IPSL-CM5A-LR, and MPI-ESM-LR) ...
Acoustic Waves in Two-Dimensional Phononic Crystals With Reticular Geometric Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous studies on photonic crystals raise the exciting topic of phononic crystals. This paper presents the results of tunable band gaps in the acoustic waves of two-dimensional phononic crystals ...
Discussion of “Bottom Aeration of Stepped Spillways” by Michael Pfister, Willi H. Hager, and Hans-Erwin Minor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Finite-Element Analysis of Pipelines with Axial Walking and Lateral Buckling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A pipeline is prone to axial movement, called pipeline walking, under heat-up and cooldown cycles. The build-up of axial force along the pipeline can result in the phenomenon referred to as lateral buckling. Walking and ...
Variation Analysis Method Based on Product Feature Information Network
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dimensional and geometric variations are significant factors of products at the manufacturing stage. Because of these variations, the physical appearance or functionality of the final product may deviate from expectations. ...
Uniaxial Tensile Stress–Strain Behavior of Carbon-Fiber Grid–Reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid–reinforced engineered cementitious composites (ECC) have been developed as an alternative to epoxy resin–based FRP plates for the strengthening of concrete structures. To broaden ...
Numerical Implementation of Plasticity Model for Cohesive Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical implementation of the “bounding surface plasticity” model for cohesive soils is described. An adaptive multistep integration procedure is used in conjunction with local iteration and radial return. Emphasis is ...
Design of Bionic Foldable Wing Mimicking the Hind Wings of the C. Buqueti Bamboo Weevil
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The bamboo weevil, Cyrtotrachelus buqueti, has excellent flight ability and strong environmental adaptability. When it flies, its fore wings and hind wings are unfolded, whereas when it crawls, its fore wings are closed, ...
Natural Frequency Analysis of Hydraulic Quadruped Robot and Structural Optimization of the Leg
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydraulic quadruped robots can adapt to very complex ground conditions, as they have good maneuverability and high load capacity and, therefore, have received great attention in military research fields all over the world. ...
