RISLeader-Following Synchronization Control of Multiple Electrohydraulic Actuators Under Switching Network Topologies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A leader-following quasi-synchronization control is proposed in multiple electrohydraulic actuators (MEHAs) under different switching network topologies to guarantee the follower electrohydraulic actuators (EHAs) track the ...
Measurements of Piezoelectric Coefficient d33 of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thin Films Using a Mini Force Hammer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lead zirconate titanate (PbZrxTi1xO3, or PZT) is a piezoelectric material widely used as sensors and actuators. For microactuators, PZT often appears in the form of thin films to maintain proper aspect ratios. One major ...
Investigation on Aggregate Adhesion Segmentation Method in an Asphalt Concrete Digital Image
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The processing method of asphalt mixture digital images was investigated on the basis of the gray – level distribution of asphalt concrete images. Some bond areas were found between different aggregates. The watershed ...
An Experimental Study of Baroclinic Flows with and without Two-Wave Bottom Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of laboratory experiments was performed in a thermally-driven rotating annulus of fluid with and without two-wave bottom topography. Velocity measurements were made by illuminating a thin layer of fluid at mid-depth ...
High-Frequency Fatigue Performance of Cracked Mortar after Epoxy Grouting Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental study on the influence of grouting reinforcement on the fatigue behavior of cracked cement mortar under different stress ratio and levels. The compressive fatigue tests were conducted ...
Fatigue Crack Growth and Control of 14MnNbq Welding Plates Used for Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fatigue-crack growth (FCG) behavior of 14MnNbq bridge steel was experimentally investigated in this paper. The fatigue-crack growth rate and threshold under different stress ratios (
Modeling on Combustion Characteristics of Biocoalbriquettes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A biocoalbriquette, a new artificial solid fuel, is manufactured by a mixture of coal and biomass under a high-compression pressure. The combustion characteristics of biocoalbriquettes were ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Analytical Solution for the Consolidation Process of a Stone-Column Reinforced Foundation under Partially Drained Boundaries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The consolidation process of a stone-column reinforced foundation under partially drained boundaries was investigated on the basis of a newly developed consolidation theory. An analytical solution was created using a ...
Preliminary Aerodynamic Design Strategy for Prop-Rotors Based on Multifidelity Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A design strategy to provide suitable baseline prop-rotors for sophisticated applications is presented. Unlike those approaches aimed at improving the aerodynamic performance of an already refined blade by high-fidelity ...
