A Numerical Investigation of Laterally Loaded Steel Fin Pile Foundation in Sand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pile foundations are often subjected to lateral loadings. By adding steel plates (fins) to the side of the pile, steel fin pile foundations (SFPFs) can improve the lateral load capacity of piles. Existing numerical studies ...
Applying Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning to Slope Stability Prediction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Slope stability prediction is an important task in geotechnical engineering which can be achieved through physics-based or data-driven approaches. Physics-based approaches rely on geotechnical knowledge from soil mechanics, ...
Modeling of Heat Losses from a PCM Storage Tank for Solar Thermophotovoltaic Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
An Evaluation of Several Controller Synthesis Methodologies Using a Rotating Flexible Beam as a Test Bed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a number of control system synthesis methodologies as practical design tools. The effectiveness is measured by the extent to which ...
Iterative FD Solution to Bending of Axisymmetric Conical Shells
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical solution is presented for determining the stresses and displacements in complete and truncated conical shells. The method is based on the classical bending theory of thin axisymmetric shells. The governing ...
Retention and Removal of Suspended Solids and Total Phosphorus from Water by Riparian Reeds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Riparian reeds in rivers may be able to remove contaminants such as phosphorus. In this study, a selected river section was surveyed to investigate the effects of riparian reeds on the suspended solids (SS) and total ...
Dynamic Programming Informed Equivalent Cost Minimization Control Strategies for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a direct mathematical approach for determining the state of charge (SOC)dependent equivalent cost factor in hybridelectric vehicle (HEV) supervisory control problems using globally optimal dynamic ...
Axisymmetric General Shells and Jointed Shells of Revolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An iterative numerical method is presented for the analysis of axisymmetric, isotropic general shells with varying wall rigidity. Shell elements of special geometric shapes, e.g., cylindrical, spherical, and conical shells, ...
A Novel Joint Design for Robotic Hands With Humanlike Nonlinear Compliance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robotic hands are typically too rigid to react against unexpected impacts and disturbances in order to prevent damage. Human hands have great versatility and robustness due, in part, to the passive compliance at the hand ...
Fuzzy Neural Network Control for DC-Motor Micromaneuvering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of a fuzzy neural network controller for compensating the effects induced by the friction in a DC-motor micromaneuvering system is considered in this article. A back-propagation ...
