Termodynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We humans like to congratulate ourselves for our ingenuity. Yet nature’s passive designs often outperform our expensive, energy-hungry technologies. And while engineers and architects can improve their designs by mimicking ...
The Complementary Energy Theorem in Finite Elasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Other investigators have extended the complementary energy theorem (Castigliano’s theorem) to cover the finite deformation of elastic systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom (structures) ...

EEO, ADA and Hiring
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many employers are concerned about meeting Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) requirements and adhering to the recent Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). You want to hire the best qualified candidate to fill each position. ...
Asymmetric Geopotential Height Fluctuations from Symmetric Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a characterization of the variability of observed geopotential height fluctuations, their probability density function (PDF) and its skewness are studied in the global domain for winter and summer. The PDF of the ...

The Application of the Principle of Stationary Potential Energy to Some Problems in Finite Elasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two applications of the principle of stationary potential energy to the finite straining of a neo-Hookean (rubberlike) material are given in this paper. The major purpose of the work presented ...
