RISPredicting Fracture in Civil Engineering Steel Structures: State of the Art
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
The Relationship Between Sperm Velocity and Pressures Applied to the Zona Pellucida During Early Sperm-Oocyte Penetration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sperm velocity is long known to be an important indicator of sperm quality but without much biophysical theory explaining it. Contact mechanics based modeling was developed here to determine ...
Effects of Virus Size and Cell Stiffness on Forces, Work, and Pressures Driving Membrane Invagination in a Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A continuum model based on the contact mechanics theory was developed and used for evaluating virus indentation forces at the early stage of membrane invagination, as well as the work of the ...
A Conceptual Model for Entrainment in Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cumulus clouds are generally modeled as a plume, and the model works well up until the cloud base is encountered, beyond which the continuously entraining model does not appear appropriate. Although it has been known for ...
Use of Thermodynamic Formalism in Generalized Continuum Theories and a Model for Damage Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A technique for setting up generalized continuum theories based on a balance law and nonlocal thermodynamics is suggested. The methodology does not require the introduction of gradients of the internal variable in the free ...
Scaling Factors Quantifying Seismic Load Uncertainty with Soil Nonlinearity Effect in Displacement-Based Design of Bridge Abutments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The displacement-based design methods for bridge abutments, essentially cantilever retaining walls, require an input of expected ground motion on-site. For major projects, these motions are obtained based on site-specific ...
Analysis of Burnett Stresses and Entropy Generation for Pressure-Driven Plane Poiseuille Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we undertake an analytical study of stresses (augmented and Onsager–Burnett) and entropy generation for the plane Poiseuille flow problem, and their variation with Knudsen number. The gas flow is assumed to ...
Grad's Second Problem and Its Solution Within the Framework of Burnett Hydrodynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In his seminal work, Grad not only derived 13 moment equations but also suggested two problems to check his derived equations. These problems are highly instructive as they bring out the character of the equations by ...
Nanofluid Flow of Alumina–Copper/Water Through Isotropic Porous Arrays of Periodic Square Cylinders: Mixed Convection and Competent Array Shape
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow of hybrid alumina–copper/water nanofluid with mixed convection heat transfer from multiple square cylinders arranged in three different types of arrays, namely equilateral triangle (ET), rotated square (RS), and ...
Probabilistic Deep Learning Approach for Fatigue Crack Width Estimation and Prognosis in Lap Joint Using Acoustic Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate fatigue crack width estimation is crucial for aircraft safety, however, limited research exists on (i) the direct relationship between fatigue crack width and Lamb wave signatures and (ii) probabilistic artificial ...
