Impact of Materials and Design on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack Operation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2008)
Planar SOFC stack technology based on a unique concept (SOFConnex™) uses structured gas distribution layers between unprofiled metal sheet interconnects and thin Ni-YSZ anode supported electrolyte ...
Chemically Enhanced Sunlight for Killing Bacteria
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)
Solar ultraviolet (UV) photocatalyzed oxidation of chemicals with titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) has received considerable attention. Much less recognized, however, is the ability of the same system ...
Removal Efficiencies of a Bioretention System for Trace Metals, PCBs, PAHs, and Dioxins in a Semiarid Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
The negative effects of urbanization on water quantity and quality and the performance of bioretention for treating runoff and reducing concentrations and loads of sediment, nutrients, pathogens, and selected trace metals ...
Dynamic Modeling and Locomotion Control for Quadruped Robots Based on Center of Inertia on SE(3)
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)
Quadruped robots have good mobility and agility in complex environments, but dynamic control of locomotion for quadruped robots has long been a big challenge for researchers. In this paper, we build the center of inertia ...
Asphalt Binders Blended with a High Percentage of Biobinders: Aging Mechanism Using FTIR and Rheology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
The objective of this study is to characterize the rheological properties and aging mechanism of asphalt binders blended with high percentages of biobinders using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The petroleum ...
State of the Art: Hydrogen storage
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2008)
Hydrogen is often considered to be the ultimate energy source for vehicles. However, if hydrogen is to fuel practical vehicles, then the development of fuel cell and hydrogen fueled engine ...
Void Growth in an Elastic-Plastic Medium
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1972)
The uniaxial deformation of an elastic-plastic medium containing a doubly periodic square array of circular cylindrical voids is studied under plane-strain conditions. Both the effects of geometrical ...
An Upper Bound on the Small Displacements of Elastic, Perfectly Plastic Structures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1972)
An inequality is described which allows the evaluation of upper bounds to the displacement of an elastic/perfectly plastic structure subject to variable loading. Simple examples indicate that ...
Closure to “<i>Wastewater Treatment and Renovation by Different Duckweed Species</i>” by Gideon Oron, Dan Porath, and Louw R. Wildschut (April, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)
Reducing Cement Contents of Paving Blocks by Using Mineral Waste and by-Product Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
In the production of conventional paving blocks, it is usual to use a minimum of
