RISQuasi Static Motion Simulation and Slip Prediction of Articulated Planetary Rovers Using a Kinematic Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wheel slips are unavoidable when moving on a 3D rough surface. They are mainly due to geometrical features of contact surfaces. In this paper, we propose a model for predicting rover motion and contact slips by using a ...
Simple Model for Bond Behavior of Masonry Elements Strengthened with FRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of the present paper is the development of a simple procedure for the analysis of the bond behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets or plates externally applied to masonry supports for the strengthening ...
Effect of Transverse Steel on the Response of RC Beams Strengthened in Shear by FRP: Experimental Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present paper shows and discusses some of the results obtained within an experimental investigation carried out on 15 reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear by externally bonded fiber-reinforced plastics ...
New York Times Building: Role of Selected Features
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With a height of 52 stories and a steel structure visible from the exterior, the New York Times Building is the third-tallest building in the city of New York. Located on 8th Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, it was ...
Structural Optimization of Grid Shells: Design Parameters and Combined Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The optimization of structures is a tricky process that involves strategies and mathematical algorithms in which the design parameters—introduced in terms of variables, constraint conditions, optimization functions, penalty ...
Kinematic Synthesis of Rotary Machines Generated by Regular Curve Polygons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The subject of this paper is the kinematic synthesis of volumetric rotary machines, also known as GeRotors (GEnerated ROTORs), which are based on the planetary motion of suitable regular curvepolygons. In particular, the ...
Optimization Strategies for Grid Shells: The Role of Joints
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Structural optimization techniques are being usefully employed for the design of large grid shell structures. Indeed, thanks to the use of innovative strategies and mathematical algorithms, it is possible to combine different ...
On the Control of Northern Hemispheric Feedbacks by AMOC: Evidence from CMIP and Slab Ocean Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Tensile Behavior of Glass/Ceramic Composite Materials at Elevated Temperatures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the tensile behavior of high-temperature composite materials containing continuous Nicalon ceramic fiber reinforcement and glass and glass/ceramic matrices. The longitudinal ...
Separation of Contributions from Radiative Feedbacks to Polar Amplification on an Aquaplanet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hen climate is forced by a doubling of CO2, a number of feedback processes are induced, such as changes of water vapor, clouds, and surface albedo. Here the CO2 forcing and concomitant feedbacks are studied individually ...
