Aerodynamic Interaction Between an Incoming Vortex and Tip Leakage Flow in a Turbine Cascade
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In turbines, secondary vortices and tip leakage vortices form in the blade passage and interact with each other. In order to understand the flow physics of this vortices interaction, the effects of incoming vortex on the ...
Analysis and Design of a Novel Compact ThreeDegreeofFreedom Parallel Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel compact threedegreeoffreedom (DOF) parallel robot that will be used as a leg of a 9DOF kinematically redundant parallel robot. First, the kinematic model of the robot is established based on ...
Special Issue on Nanomaterials and Nanomechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The behavior or materials at the nanoscale and the behavior of nanocomponents such as nanowires and nanotubes have been subjects of increasing research in recent years. The idea of dedicating ...
Analytical Model for Square Root Increase of Surface Chloride Concentration and Decrease of Chloride Diffusivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical model of chloride diffusion in concrete structures is derived mathematically for a condition with a square-root increase of surface chloride concentration and a decrease of chloride diffusivity in the initial ...
A Direct Tool Path Planning Algorithm for Line Scanning Based Stereolithography
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel tool path planning approach for polygonal mirror scanning based stereolithography (STL) process. Compared with traditional laser scanning and mask projection based STL process, the polygonal ...

Analytical Model for Square Root Increase of Surface Chloride Concentration and Decrease of Chloride Diffusivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical model of chloride diffusion in concrete structures is derived mathematically for a condition with a square-root increase of surface chloride concentration and a decrease of chloride diffusivity in the initial ...
Reliability Evaluation of Corroding Pipelines Considering Multiple Failure Modes and Time-Dependent Internal Pressure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology is developed to evaluate the annual failure probabilities of a pressurized pipeline at an active metal-loss corrosion defect. The methodology takes into account three different failure modes at the defect ...
Study of Employee Carsharing on the University Campus
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This manuscript analyzes personal and carsharing consumption characteristics of alternative commuters of the same university in Los Angeles, California. The paper finds that: (1) one can achieve a reasonably high carsharing ...
Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms Using Hybrid Discretization Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hybrid discretization model for topology optimization of compliant mechanisms is introduced in this paper. The design domain is discretized into quadrilateral design cells. Each design cell ...
