Complex Envelopes for Oscillations in Slightly Nonlinear Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A complex envelope f (t) is used to replace the traditional sine and cosine envelopes of the response of a sinusoidally forced, slightly nonlinear system, so that the response is y(t) = Re ...
New Considerations in Predicting Mitigation of Alkali-Silica Reaction Based on Fly Ash Chemistry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of high CaO and/or high-alkali (
Closure to “<i>Simulation of Doc Removal in Activated Carbon Beds</i>” by R. Scott Summers and Paul V. Roberts (February, 1984)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion: Defining Biosolids Stability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Performance Evaluation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Engines Integrated With Single/Dual-Spool Turbochargers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the performance and operating characteristics of 5kW-class solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine (SOFC/GT) hybrid systems for two different configurations, namely single- ...
Dynamic Weight Shifting for Improved Maneuverability and Rollover Prevention in High Speed Mobile Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mobile manipulators have reduced maneuverability and risk rolling over when operated at high speeds. One of the main contributing factors is the higher center of gravity (CG) due to the manipulator arm. This paper proposes ...
On the Interaction of Thermally Induced Buckling and Debond Propagation in Patched Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The coupling of edge debonding and thermal buckling of patched beam-plates possessing initial edge detachment is examined for the case when the structure is subjected to a uniform temperature ...
Effects of Near-Fault Ground Shaking on Sliding Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical study is presented for a rigid block supported through a frictional contact surface on a horizontal or an inclined plane, and subjected to horizontal or slope-parallel excitation. The latter is described with ...
Lattice Structures Made From Surface Modified Steel Sheets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanostructured materials produced by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) method are explored for two periodic lattice topologies: square and Kagome. Selected SMAT strategies are applied to bar members in the unit ...
Mechanics of Drag Embedment Anchors in a Soft Seabed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the load capacity and trajectory of a drag embedment anchor in a soft seabed. Anchor capacity relationships are developed for an idealized anchor comprising a rectangular fluke and a ...
