RISThermal Simulations of Cancerous Breast Tumors and Cysts on a Realistic Female Torso
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Medical thermography has been around for several decades however due to its low specificity it has not become a popular medical diagnostic technique. The development of computational models of heat transfer in biological ...
Variability of NSSDA Estimations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using a statistical simulation process the variability of National standard for spatial data accuracy (NSSDA) estimations are analyzed according to sample size. Simulation results show: (1) that the NSSDA positional accuracy ...
The Forced Oscillations of Submerged Bodies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The increasing use of very light structures in aerospace applications are given rise to the need of taking into account the effects of the surrounding media in the motion of a structure (as ...
An Efficient Dynamic Formulation for Solving Rigid and Flexible Multibody Systems Based on Semirecursive Method and Implicit Integration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for solving the dynamic equations of multibody systems containing both rigid and flexible bodies. The proposed method uses independent coordinates and projects the dynamic equations on the ...
Analysis of Some Positional Accuracy Assessment Methodologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work presents an analysis of some standard methodologies for positional accuracy assessment of geographic data bases, taking into account aspects like the statistical formulation, the size of the control sample, the ...
Graphical Methodology for Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions by Combined Use of Funicular and Projective Geometry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new graphic methodology for the structural analysis of domes and other surfaces of revolution, based on the combined use of funicular and projective geometry. The methodology is presented through its ...
Peaks-over-Threshold Study of Trends in Extreme Rainfall over the Iberian Peninsula
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach is used to study trends in extreme rainfall over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) at a daily scale. Records from 52 observatories regularly distributed over Iberia with no missing data were ...
Tension Control Law for Three-Dimensional Deployment of a Geostationary Space Solar Power Station
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To collect solar energy in outer space, Tethered Collecting Solar Power Satellite Systems have been proposed by several authors in the last years. A geostationary orbit would be the best location for a space-based solar ...
Galvanized Steel in Concrete: More Durable Structures Maintaining the Bond Length
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Acceptance Curves for the Positional Control of Geographic Databases
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simulation process is implemented in order to generate synthetic populations of positional-planimetric errors and later, by a bootstrap process, a family of acceptance curves (nomogram) has been derived. These curves ...
