RISComplete Preliminary Design Methodology for Electric Multirotor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Harvesting Energy From Time-Limited Harmonic Vibrations: Mechanical Considerations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mechanical oscillators have been the most common type of generators used to harvest energy from mechanical vibrations. When the excitation is harmonic, optimal performance is achieved when ...
Urban Street Speed Related to Width and Functional Class
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, land development professionals from various disciplines have advocated narrowing city streets as a means to slow speeds and improve the urban environment. This paper reports the findings of a study of ...
Effect of Loop Shape on the Drag-Induced Lift of Fly Line
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This note explains why casting a loop with a positive angle of attack is advantageous in distance fly casting. Several loop shapes, one with a positive angle of attack, one with a negative ...
Comparison between Computed and Experimentally Generated Impulse Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large water waves caused by massive slide impacts are a potential hazard along waterways, coastal areas and Alpine regions. Experimental research has been conducted at the Swiss Laboratory of Hydraulics to assess the risk ...
Testing Photoelectric Sensor System to Classify Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the 1990 test of an automatic vehicle classification (AVC) system employing an inductance detector loop and photoelectric sensors emitting infrared‐spectrum light beams, which were reflected off commonly ...
Gap Acceptance at Atypical Stop-Controlled Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A gap acceptance study was performed at a T-intersection at which left-turn traffic on the through leg had the right-of-way. A number of methods were used to model the critical gap size at this atypical intersection. The ...
Owner Procured Preliminary Shop Drawings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Located near downtown Milwaukee, the Marquette Interchange reconstruction project is the largest and most complex highway project ever undertaken by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The construction staging on ...
Calibration Procedure of the Biological Nutrient Removal Model Number 1
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Activated sludge model calibration based on dynamic data of the biological process is a frequently used methodology. However, because dynamic measurement campaigns are expensive and time-consuming, adequate planning is ...
Data Fusion of Real-Time Location Sensing and Physiological Status Monitoring for Ergonomics Analysis of Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous research and applications in construction resource optimization have focused on tracking the location of material and equipment. There is a lack of studies on remote monitoring for improving safety and health of ...
