Reliability Analysis of Mechanical Systems Based on the First Four Moments of Input Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance of a mechanical or structural system can be improved through a proper selection of its design parameters such as the geometric dimensions, external actions (loads), and material characteristics. The computation ...
On Investigation of Liquid Sloshing in Cylindrical Tanks With Single and Multiply Connected Domains Using Isogeometric Boundary Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper explores an isogeometric boundary element method (IGA-BEM) for sloshing problems in cylindrical tanks with single and multiply connected domains. Instead of the Lagrange basis functions used in the standard BEM, ...
Method for Considering the Effect of Nonuniform Consolidation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of nonuniform consolidation on the average degree of consolidation (DOC) under the one-dimensional (1D) condition is investigated through a laboratory model test and finite-element analyses (FEAs). Nonuniform ...
Mapping the Relationship between Northern Hemisphere Winter Surface Air Temperature and the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: regression-based modeling approach is described for mapping the dependence of atmospheric state variables such as surface air temperature (SAT) on the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). For the special case of a linear model ...
Nonlinear Model Analysis of Radial Bulging Deformation of Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution to predict the radial bulging displacement and vertical settlement behaviors of geosynthetic-encased stone columns (GESCs) considering the nonlinear-elastic and elastoplastic ...
Nonlinear Buckling and Postbuckling of Shallow Arches With Vertical Elastic Supports
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method to investigate the effects of symmetric and asymmetric elastic supports on the nonlinear equilibria and buckling responses of shallow arches. It is found that arches with symmetric ...
Nonlinear Buckling and Postbuckling of Shallow Arches With Vertical Elastic Supports
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method to investigate the effects of symmetric and asymmetric elastic supports on the nonlinear equilibria and buckling responses of shallow arches. It is found that arches with symmetric ...
In-Plane Quasi-Static Crushing Behaviors of a Novel Reentrant Combined-Wall Honeycomb
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The innovative design of microstructure topology is of great significance to improve the energy absorption performance of honeycombs. In this paper, by embedding a hexagonal substructure in each inclined wall of the ...
Simulating Climate Change Impacts and Adaptive Measures for Rice Cultivation in Hunan Province, China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate change will inevitably continue for the next few decades and will have an impact on climate-sensitive agricultural production, emphasizing the need to design effective adaptive strategies to cope with climate risk ...
Thermohydrodynamic Analysis of Process-Liquid Hydrostatic Journal Bearings in Turbulent Regime, Part I: The Model and Perturbation Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A bulk-flow thermohydrodynamic (THD) analysis is developed for prediction of the static and dynamic performance characteristics of turbulent-flow, process-liquid, hydrostatic journal bearings (HJBs). ...
