RISSynchronization of Networked Mechanical Systems With Communication Delays and Human Input
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of controlling a group of networked mechanical systems to synchronize and follow a common trajectory is studied in this paper. We first address the results for networked mechanical systems to achieve synchronization ...
Velocity Field in Vortices Leeward of Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Navier Stokes equation for an isolated axisymmetric viscous vortex is applied to determine the peak wind speeds in vortices leeward of the Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Madeira islands which are shown in TIROS and Gemini ...
Discussion of “Observations on the Reliability of Alternative Multiple-Mode Pushover Analysis Methods” by T. Tjhin, M. Aschheim, and E. Hernandes-Montes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modal Analysis of Linear Dynamic Systems: Physical Interpretation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The modal analysis procedure for calculating the dynamic response of classically damped linear structural systems is reformulated with the objective of developing the physical significance of the elements of the solution ...
Earthquake Analysis of Arch Dams: Factors to Be Considered
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The factors that significantly influence the three-dimensional analysis of arch dams are identified: the semiunbounded size of the reservoir and foundation-rock domains, dam-water interaction, wave absorption at the reservoir ...
Earthquake‐Induced Base Sliding of Concrete Gravity Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analytical procedures are developed considering hydrodynamic effects to determine the response history of earthquake‐induced sliding of a gravity dam monolith supported without bond on a horizontal, planar surface of rock. ...
Simplified Earthquake Analysis of Intake‐Outlet Towers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simplified procedure is presented to determine the maximum earthquake forces in intake‐outlet towers directly from the design earthquake spectrum without the need for a response‐history analysis. All the significant ...
Representation of Elevated-Temperature Tensile Behavior of Type 304 Stainless Steel in a Sodium Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analysis of tensile behavior of Type 304 stainless steel was conducted for specimens in the solution-annealed condition and after exposure to a sodium environment. The Voce equation was used ...
Reservoir Bottom Absorption Effects in Earthquake Response of Concrete Gravity Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Utilizing a recently developed analytical procedure, linear responses of the tallest non‐overflow monolith of Pine Flat Dam to Taft ground motion are presented for a range of properties for the reservoir bottom materials ...
Simplified Earthquake Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two‐stage procedure was proposed in 1978 for the analysis phase of elastic design and safety evaluation of concrete gravity dams: (1) A simplified analysis procedure in which the response due only to the fundamental ...
