ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

A Comparison of Methods for Synthesis of Directional Seas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical models for synthesis of directional seas are evaluated. Several authors have recently reported limitations associated with the commonly used double summation model which is neither ergodic ...
Behavior of Unstiffened and Stiffened Steel Tubular T-Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Offshore towers standing in deep sea are susceptible to cyclic nature of wave forces. Fatigue failure initiates at the welded tubular joints of these structures where a very high stress gradient ...
Fatigue Crack Growth Analyses of Offshore Structural Tubular Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fracture mechanics fatigue life estimation procedures have been developed for offshore structural tubular joints through analyzing a K-joint under the North Sea environment. The objective of this ...
The Characteristic Grain Size and the Compressive Strength of Ice Containing a Bimodal Distribution of Grain Sizes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this communication is to show through experiment that the compressive strength of polycrystalline ice, which contains a bimodal distribution of grain sizes, can be expressed in ...
Three-Dimensional Analysis of Ice Sheet Indentation: Limit Analysis Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is presented for determining the collapse pressures of an ice sheet subjected to a uniformly distributed edge load by applying the upper-bound theorem of limit analysis. The ice sheet ...
Effect of Interface Conditions on Dynamic Ice-Structure Interaction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Elastic wave theory is utilized to investigate the influence of interface boundary conditions on the dynamic characteristics of a circular cylindrical structure subjected to steady-state and ...

A Theoretical Study on the Second-Order Wave Forces for Two-Dimensional Bodies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nonlinear wave forces on fixed or floating offshore structures have attracted much attention recently. This paper deals with the nonlinear effects of regular waves on fixed two-dimensional bodies ...
Second-Order Diffraction Loads on Plural Vertical Cylinder With Arbitrary Cross Sections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of the present study is development of a powerful numerical method for calculating second-order diffraction loads on plural vertical cylinder with arbitrary cross sections. According ...
A Methodology for the Determination of Drag Coefficients for Ice Floes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Governing equations are derived for the response of partially ice-covered continental shelf waters to atmospheric and tidal forcing. The assumptions underlying these equations are discussed, with ...
