Optical Characteristics Impact Factor Assessment for Emergency Lights
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study conducted candlepower distribution tests to analyze the characteristics of emergency lighting. The spatial luminous intensity distribution of light intensity lamps was obtained. The experimental results for ...
Special Issue: User Needs and Preferences in Engineering Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Addressing user needs and preferences is critically important in developing innovative and successful engineered products and systems. The task is inherently challenging due to the heterogeneity of user needs and the ...
Design Manifolds Capture the Intrinsic Complexity and Dimension of Design Spaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper shows how to measure the intrinsic complexity and dimensionality of a design space. It assumes that high-dimensional design parameters actually lie in a much lower-dimensional space that represents semantic ...
Investigation of Strip Warpage Behavior in Wire Bonding Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study successfully established a strip warpage simulation model that is applied to the wire bonding process, and explored the effects of structural designs, material types, and processes such as molding, post and mold ...
Numerical Simulation of a Single Stone Column in Soft Clay Using the Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The coupled discrete-element method–finite difference method (DEM–FDM) numerical modeling scheme was proposed to simulate a single stone column in soft clay according to the Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). The ...
Safety Monitoring of Buried Pipeline with Socket Joints Subjected to Ground Deformation Using MEMS Inclinometers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground deformation, which is a common consequence of surface loads, construction activities, excavation work, subterranean cavitation, soil subsidence, and so on, poses a serious threat to nearby pipelines. This work ...
Trends in Monthly Tropopause Characteristics Observed over Taipei, Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents monthly trends in the cold-point tropopause (CPT), calculated using three decades of radiosonde data from 1981 to 2010 over Taipei, Taiwan (25°01?N, 121°27?E). Multivariate regression analysis has been ...
Safety Monitoring of Buried Pipeline with Socket Joints Subjected to Ground Deformation Using MEMS Inclinometers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground deformation, which is a common consequence of surface loads, construction activities, excavation work, subterranean cavitation, soil subsidence, and so on, poses a serious threat to nearby pipelines. This work ...
Theoretical Modeling and Exact Solution for Extreme Bending Deformation of Hard-Magnetic Soft Beams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hard-magnetic soft materials (HMSMs) manufactured by embedding hard-magnetic particles in soft materials belong to a new type of soft active materials. The abilities of fast and complicated transformations of hard-magnetic ...
PaDGAN: Learning to Generate High-Quality Novel Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deep generative models are proven to be a useful tool for automatic design synthesis and design space exploration. When applied in engineering design, existing generative models face three challenges: (1) generated designs ...
