RISMembrane Behavior of Kaolin–Bentonite Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The semipermeable membrane behavior of clay effectively reduces solute flux and therefore can be beneficial in clays used as barriers in chemical containment applications. Except for geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), the ...
Shear Strength of Compacted Bentonite Saturated with Saline Solutions under Different Specimen Saturation Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effect of saline on the shear strength of compacted bentonite is important to investigate the safety assessment of engineering barriers of deep geological repositories. Different methods used for saturating compacted ...
Statistical Analysis of the Spatial Transmission of Pipeline Failures in an Oil Treatment Station at Sinopec Tahe Oilfield
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Corrosion failure generally results in pipeline leakages during oil production. This paper systematically investigated the pipeline failure events in an oil treatment station of Tahe oilfield in the last 20 years were ...
Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Contractility and Stress in a Finite Element Model of Posterobasal Myocardial Infarction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, a noninvasive method for determining regional myocardial contractility, using an animal-specific finite element (FE) model-based optimization, was developed to study a sheep with anteroapical ...
A Novel Method for Quantifying In-Vivo Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Contractility in the Border Zone of a Myocardial Infarction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homogeneous contractility is usually assigned to the remote region, border zone (BZ), and the infarct in existing infarcted left ventricle (LV) mathematical models. Within the LV, the contractile ...
A Computationally Efficient Formal Optimization of Regional Myocardial Contractility in a Sheep With Left Ventricular Aneurysm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A noninvasive method for estimating regional myocardial contractility in vivo would be of great value in the design and evaluation of new surgical and medical strategies to treat and/or prevent ...
