RISRemaining Technical Challenges and Future Plans for Oil-Free Turbomachinery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of oil-free technologies (foil gas bearings, solid lubricants, and advanced analysis and predictive modeling tools) to advanced turbomachinery has been underway for several decades. ...
Seismic Behavior of Sheathed Cold-Formed Structures: Numerical Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the results of a numerical study on seismic deformation demand to sheathed cold-formed steel structures. It is part of a wider research, involving also physical tests on oriented strand ...
Seismic Behavior of Sheathed Cold-Formed Structures: Physical Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental study on the seismic behavior of cold-formed steel stud shear walls, sheathed with wood-based [oriented strand board (OSB)], and gypsum-based (wallboard) panels. Tests were ...
Field Testing of All-Steel Buckling-Restrained Braces Applied to a Damaged Reinforced Concrete Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Seismic Upgrading of RC Buildings by FRP: Full-Scale Tests of a Real Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the results of an experimental investigation on the use of composite materials for controlling the type of plastic collapse mechanism of existing reinforced concrete structures. The research ...
Lateral-Loading Tests on a Real RC Building Including Masonry Infill Panels with and without FRP Strengthening
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two lateral-loading inelastic tests on a real masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) building are presented. The first test has been carried out on the original building. Extensive damage to both masonry panels and RC ...
A Systems Approach to the Solid Lubrication of Foil Air Bearings for Oil-Free Turbomachinery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Foil air bearings are self-acting hydrodynamic bearings which rely upon solid lubricants to reduce friction and minimize wear during sliding which occurs at start-up and shut-down when surface ...
Approximate Method for Transverse Response Analysis of Partially Isolated Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current analysis procedures for seismically isolated bridges frequently use an equivalent (approximate) linearization approach to represent the response of nonlinear isolation/energy dissipation devices. Linearization ...
Design, Fabrication, and Performance of Foil Gas Thrust Bearings for Microturbomachinery Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A methodology for the design and construction of simple foil thrust bearings intended for parametric performance testing and low marginal costs is presented. Features drawn from a review of the ...
Design of a Compact Magnetically Levitated Blower for Space Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: NASA is leading the design and development of a next-generation CO2 removal system, the four bed carbon dioxide scrubber (4BCO2), and intends to use the International Space Station (ISS) as its testbed. A key component of ...
