RISThe Support Reaction of a Simply Supported and Uniformly Loaded Thin Circular Aeolotropic Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A previous analytical solution of the deflection of a thin circular aeolotropic plate, with simply supported edge and uniform lateral load, has been used to derive approximate series expressions ...
A Parametric Model for Ionization Current in a Four Stroke SI Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model for the thermal part of an ionization signal is presented that connects the ionization current to cylinder pressure and temperature in a spark ignited internal combustion engine. One ...
Natural Frequencies of a Penny-Shaped Crack With Spring Boundary Condition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Natural frequencies of a penny-shaped crack are calculated for the three-dimensional elastic problem. The crack is imbedded in a homogeneous medium and on the crack surface the spring boundary ...
Optimal Transient Control Trajectories in Diesel–Electric Systems—Part II: Generator and Energy Storage Effects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of generator model and energy storage on the optimal control of a diesel–electric powertrain in transient operation are studied. Two different types of problems are solved, minimum fuel and minimum time, with ...
Optimal Transient Control Trajectories in Diesel–Electric Systems—Part I: Modeling, Problem Formulation, and Engine Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A nonlinear four statethree input mean value engine model (MVEM), incorporating the important turbocharger dynamics, is used to study optimal control of a diesel–electric powertrain during transients. The optimization ...
Parameterizing Compact and Extensible Compressor Models Using Orthogonal Distance Minimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A complete and compact control-oriented compressor model consisting of a mass flow submodel and an efficiency submodel is described. The final application of the model is a complete two-stroke mean value engine model (MVEM) ...
Procurement Effects on Coopetition in Client-Contractor Relationships
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Client-contractor relationships are often criticized for being competitive and adversarial, rather than cooperative. The main purpose of this paper is to examine how construction clients’ procurement procedures affect the ...
Paradoxical Organizational Tensions between Control and Flexibility When Managing Large Infrastructure Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent socioeconomic changes have created and intensified paradoxical organizational tensions that companies in numerous industries, including the construction sector, need to address when organizing and managing their ...
Bending Fatigue of Thermal Barrier Coatings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are ceramic coatings used in gas turbines to lower the base metal temperature. During operation, the TBC may fail through, for example, fatigue. In this study, a TBC system deposited on a ...
Influence of Medial Collagen Organization and Axial In Situ Stretch on Saccular Cerebral Aneurysm Growth
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model for saccular cerebral aneurysm growth, proposed by and (2007, “A Model for Saccular Cerebral Aneurysm Growth in a Human Middle Cerebral Artery,” J. Theor. Biol., 247, pp. 775–787; 2008, ...
