RISEvaluating Glint and Glare Hazards From Fields of Parabolic Mirrors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reflected light from photovoltaic installations and concentrated solar power plants poses a significant risk to observers, manifesting as glint (momentary flashes) and glare (sustained brightness). These hazards are ...

Characterization of Elastoplastic Properties Based on Inverse Analysis and Finite Element Modeling of Two Separate Indenters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method that can determine uniquely the elastoplastic properties from indentation loading and unloading curves has been developed. It is based on finite element modeling and inverse analysis ...
Criteria Used for Selecting Envelope Wall Systems in Chilean Residential Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Building envelope selection greatly influences the building’s performance. Specifically, the envelope wall system (EWS) definition is a critical part of this selection, especially for residential projects. This selection ...
Evolution of Tsunami-Induced Internal Acoustic–Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors present an idealized theoretical and numerical study of tsunami-induced internal waves in the atmosphere. These are gravity waves modified by acoustic effects that can propagate rapidly from the ocean surface ...
Analysis of a Horizontally Curved Long-Span Beam on Two Nonlinear Elastic Supports
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical model and corresponding closed-form equations capable of determining the internal forces, moments, and deflections about the weak and strong axes, as well as the angle of twist along the span and the rigid ...

Roads Performance Modeling and Management System from Two Condition Data Points: Case Study of Costa Rica
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Initial implementation of a road management system will typically face the challenge of a lack of time-series data for performance modeling. This paper presents one approach for developing initial performance prediction ...
The Impact of Trade Wind Strength on Precipitation over the Windward Side of the Island of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of trade wind strength and the diurnal heating cycle on the production of summer trade wind rainfall on the windward side of the island of Hawaii are examined from the data collected from the Hawaiian Rainband ...
Influence of Mass Matrix Models on Flutter Computations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For the computation of the dynamic properties and response of structures using the finite-element method (FEM), there are two main options for the mass matrix modeling: the lumped model and the consistent model. Both have ...
