RISCriticality of Damping in Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: . It is noted that results available in the literature for the case of overdamping and mixed damping are erroneous. This has been pointed out by Bhaskar (1991, 1992) for the cases of overdamping and mixed damping...
An Experimental Investigation of Coupled van der Pol Oscillators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental investigations of synchronization of linearly diffusive coupled van der Pol electronic oscillators are reported. In addition to in- and antiphase stable oscillations, shifted symmetric ...
Behavior of Calculated Nail Head Strength in Soil-Nailed Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nail head strength is one of the parameters used in design of soil-nailed structures. It determines the stability of the nailed structure against failure involving the facing element. The nail head strength is a function ...
Bolt Strength in Sectional Body Construction of Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: ASME B16.34-2017 Section 6.4.2 provides requirements for valves with bolted body joints and threaded body joints. The section states that valves with bodies of sectional construction such that bolted or threaded body joints ...
Dynamic Attenuation and Compressive Characterization of Syntactic Foams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hollow particulate composites are lightweight, have high compressive strength, are low moisture absorbent, have high damping materials, and are used extensively in aerospace, marine applications, and in the manufacture of ...
A Comparative Analysis of Change in the First and Second Moment of the PDF of Seasonal Mean 200-mb Heights with ENSO SSTs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on simulations from nine different atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs), a comparative assessment of the influence of ENSO SST variability on the first and second moment of the probability density function ...
Vadose Zone Flow and Transport in Cracked Heavy Textured Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Investigated were physical processes governing vadose zone water flow and solute transport in a heavy-textured crack-prone soil of the semiarid Canadian Prairies. Soil moisture, soil temperature, and relevant meteorological ...
A Comparison of the Atmospheric Response to ENSO in Coupled and Uncoupled Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are specified and the oceanic evolution consistent with air?sea interaction is not included. This omission could lead ...
Quantitative Estimation of Clay Mineralogy in Fine-Grained Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stabilization design guidelines based on soil plasticity properties have certain limitations. Soils of similar plasticity properties can contain different dominant clay minerals, and hence, their engineering behavior can ...
Closure to “Quantitative Estimation of Clay Mineralogy in Fine-Grained Soils” by Bhaskar Chittoori and Anand J. Puppala
