RISModeling Solar Irradiance and Solar PV Power Output to Create a Resource Assessment Using Linear Multiple Multivariate Regression
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he increased use of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells as energy sources on electric grids has created the need for more accessible solar irradiance and power production estimates for use in power modeling software. In the ...
Behavior of Cold‐Formed Steel Purlins Under Gravity Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Full‐scale tests of cold‐formed steel C‐ and Z‐section purlins supporting conventional (through‐fastened) metal‐building roof panels were tested under gravity loading. Both single‐ and triple‐span tests were conducted on ...
A Conjugate Fluid–Porous Approach for Simulating Airflow in Realistic Geometric Representations of the Human Respiratory System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Simulation of flow in the human lung is of great practical interest as a means to study the detailed flow patterns within the airways for many physiological applications. While computational simulation techniques are quite ...
Liquefaction-Induced Ground-Surface Disruption
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although liquefaction is a major cause of earthquake damage, little harm occurs unless the liquefied condition leads to some form of ground disruption or ground failure. Thus, the ability to accurately predict potential ...
High-Frequency Skywave Radar Track of Tropical Storm Debra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical Storm Debra was tracked over a 31 h period in the Gulf of Mexico using the Wide Aperture Research Facility (WARF) high-frequency (HF) skywave radar in California. In contrast to the first WARF skywave radar tracking ...
Numerical Results for the Effective Flow and Thermal Properties of Idealized Graphite Foam
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To simulate the heat transfer performance of devices incorporating high-conductivity porous materials, it is necessary to determine the relevant effective properties to close the volume-averaged ...
Nonlinear Impulsive Motions of Low‐Tension Cables
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Perfectly flexible cables with zero or low initial tension, subject to impulsive loads, have different dynamics than taut cables. The initial transient motion is that of an inextensible cable, and the resulting equations ...
Social Vulnerability to Climate-Sensitive Hazards in the Southern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he southern United States is no stranger to hazard and disaster events. Intense hurricanes, drought, flooding, and other climate-sensitive hazards are commonplace and have outnumbered similar events in other areas of the ...
Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of Graphene Oxide Modification of a Neat Asphalt Binder for Flexible Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Graphene oxide (GO) has the potential to increase the service life of asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures, but there are concerns about its high cost. The purpose of this work is to provide a methodology to perform a ...
The Effect of Thermal Contact Resistance at Porous-Solid Interfaces in Finned Metal Foam Heat Sinks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical study on the effect of thermal contact resistance and its impact on the performance of finned aluminum foam heat sinks has been conducted. Calculations are based on the solution ...
