Variable-Frequency Drive Applications in Nonmakeup-Air Exhaust Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The constant-speed fan wastes fan energy and causes excessive noises in nonmakeup-air exhaust systems, where stack-exit velocity decreases proportionally to the laboratory exhaust airflow. A variable-frequency drive (VFD) ...
Fatigue Crack Identification in Tensile-Shear Spot Welded Joints by Dynamic Response Characteristics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical model for the estimation of fatigue crack length of tensile-shear spot welded specimen is developed which incorporates the natural frequency and mode variation. The model is based ...
An Experimental Study of Internal Hygrocysts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The onset of the stable laminar secondary flow (hygrocysts) that arises when a partially filled container is rotated about a horizontal axis has been experimentally studied. Nearly 500 sets of ...
Nonlinear Time Dependent Corrosion Wastage of Deck Plates of Ballast and Cargo Tanks of Tankers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The corrosion wastage of deck plates of ballast and cargo tanks is analyzed based on a nonlinear corrosion model. This model is able to describe an initial period without corrosion due to ...
Hybrid Lattice Particle Modeling of Retrofitting Infrastructure Design under a Blasting Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method, known as hybrid lattice particle modeling (HLPM), for the study of the reinforcement potential for coating of three-layer functionally designed nonlinear response retrofitting structure ...
Creep Rupture Properties of High-Temperature Bainitic Steels After Weld Repair
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Welded high-temperature power plant components can experience a greater risk of failure by creep during service, when compared to similar as-wrought components. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) of ...
Analysis of Acousto-Ultrasonic Characteristics for Contact-Type Transducers Coupled to an Orthotropic Composite Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Acousto-ultrasonic input-output characteristics for contact-type transmitting and receiving transducers coupled to a thin orthotropic composite plate are analyzed in this paper. By introducing the ...
The Effect of Swirl on the Velocity and Turbulence Fields of a Liquid Spray
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The work reports an experimental study of the effect of swirl on the structure of a liquid spray, i.e., on the behavior of drops and their interaction with the gaseous phase, and on the ...
Analysis of Stress-Change Disturbance Caused by Ideal Drilling in Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil sampling and pressuremeter testing involve drilling boreholes. As a result of the removal of overburden pressure, the stresses in the soil surrounding a borehole are altered from their initial states, resulting in ...
Erratum: “Performance Evaluation of Low Heat Rejection Engines” (Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1994, 116, pp. 758–764)
