Viscous Damping of Solitary Waves over Fluid‐Mud Seabeds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fluid‐mud seabeds have significant effects on the attenuation of water waves that propagate over them. In this paper an analytical solution is presented for solitary waves propagating over fluid‐mud seabeds. In the theoretical ...
An Optimization Design Method of a Cylindrical Roller Bearing With the Low Friction Torque
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The heat generated during the bearing working process would greatly affect the working life and stability of bearing and mechanical transmission system. To analyze the heat generation of cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs), ...
Hybrid Prequalification-Based, Innovative Contracting Model Using AHP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design-build, cost-plus-time, and warranty are three innovative contracting methods used by the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA). Because of the challenges inherent in the nature of these approaches, contractors need ...
Effectiveness of Moisture and Fixatives in Controlling Mobility of Contaminated Soil Particles by Wind Forces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two commercially available fixatives in controlling the mobility of soil particles on soil mounds when exposed to wind forces. The fixatives tested ...
Influence of Building Shape on Wind-Driven Rain Exposure in Tall Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind-driven rain (WDR) is a primary cause of material degradation in tall buildings that affects the durability and long-term performance. This study investigates the influence of building shape on WDR exposure in tall ...
An Analysis of the Load Distribution Characteristics of a Cylindrical Roller Bearing Including the Component Deformation and Waviness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs) are key components of mechanical transmission systems. The internal load distribution and stiffness (LDAS) have significant effects on the bearing fatigue life and vibrations. It can also ...
Stabilization of Scorodite by Aluminum Silicate Microencapsulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Crystalline scorodite (FeAsO4·2H2O) is a common arsenic-(As-)containing solid waste produced from nonferrous metallurgical processes. Its stability is the key factor to determine environmental risks. Scorodite is stable ...
Research on H-3K Creep Coupling Calculation Model of Long-Term Prestress Loss of Anchor Cables
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prestress loss of anchor cables can cause a change in the internal force for the support structure of a foundation pit or slope, which may cause engineering accidents. The coupling effect between an anchor cable and the ...
A Review of State-of-the-Art on Enabling Additive Manufacturing Processes for Precision Medicine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Precision medicine is an emerging healthcare delivery approach that considers variability between patients, such as genetic makeups, in contrast to the current one-size-fits-all approach that is designed to treat the average ...
