RISSingle-Grain Virtualization for Contact Behavior Analysis on Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology for virtualizing irregularly shaped grains is described here. The principle, largely inspired by computed tomography, is simple and accessible because only the three-dimensional (3D) outline of the grain is ...
Load Tests on Residual Soil and Settlement Prediction on Shallow Foundation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of shallow foundations is often considered in semiempirical methodologies that are based on linear and nonlinear models of behavior, mainly for settlement prediction purposes. In this paper, the applicability ...
Dynamic Guidance of Gliders in Planetary Atmospheres
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using dynamical systems techniques, a new algorithm to direct the trajectory of gliders to a preassigned target point is proposed. The algorithm is applicable to any unpowered lift-enabled vehicle (glider) traveling in ...

Experimental Investigation of the Shipping of Water on the Bow of a Containership
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the shipping of water on the bow of a containership. Model tests were carried out in head regular and irregular waves of ...
Heuristic Analysis of the Effective Range of a Track Tamping Machine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops a methodology to define the optimum length of railway track that would undergo maintenance work by one tamping machine. The acquisition and logistic costs associated with the use of this type of machine ...
Winter 10-Day Coupled Patterns between Geopotential Height and Iberian Peninsula Rainfall Using the ECMWF Precipitation Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ten-day winter anomalous precipitation variability in the Iberian Peninsula (IP), related to the North Atlantic atmospheric general circulation, is analyzed using 24-h forecast ECMWF precipitation data over 1979?96. The ...
Global Loads on a FPSO Induced by a Set of Freak Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a systematic study of the structural loads induced by abnormal waves on a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform. This work is a follow-up to a previous ...
Simulation of Physiological Loading in Total Hip Replacements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The determination of biomechanical force systems of implanted femurs to obtain adequate strain measurements has been neglected in many published studies. Due to geometric alterations induced by ...
Finite Element and Experimental Cortex Strains of the Intact and Implanted Tibia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Finite Element (FE) models for the simulation of intact and implanted bone find their main purpose in accurately reproducing the associated mechanical behavior. FE models can be used for ...
