RISTrajectory Planning and Tracking Using Decoupled CBF-QPs for Safe Navigation of Quadrotors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Control barrier function-based quadratic program (CBF-QP) provides an avenue for agile and numerically efficient obstacle avoidance algorithms. However, the CBF-QP methods may lead to lengthy detours and undesirable avoidance ...
L‐Shaped Column Design for Biaxial Eccentricity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rational shape for the load contours in L‐shaped columns is proposed using the inverse method of analysis. Determination of the ultimate loads from the appropriate interaction curves derived from the shape of load contours ...
Heat Transfer During High Temperature Gas Flow Through Metal Foam Heat Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study of heat transfer in metal foam heat exchangers fabricated from 10 and 40 pores per inch (PPI) was conducted. Heat exchangers were made by either brazing Inconel sheets to foam or plasma spraying Inconel ...
Revised Design Parameters for Vertical Curves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: , by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), exhibited severe disparities between its recommended procedures for the computation of braking distances on grades and the design controls ...
Influence of Single- and Two-Stage Aggregate Manufacturing Mechanisms on Asphalt Mixture Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the effects of single-stage (jaw crusher alone) and two-stage crushing (jaw crusher followed by an impact crusher) mechanism on the mechanical properties of aggregates. A two-phase study was designed ...
Predicting the Fundamental Period of Light-Frame Wood Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a research investigation of the period formulation in the national building code of Canada through testing and modeling of a light-frame wood structure. The experimental aspect of the study was focused ...
Floor Vibration Serviceability Problems in Wood Light-Frame Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Excessive floor vibrations can occur in wood light-frame buildings and cause inconvenience to occupants in terms of unsatisfactory serviceability. There has been much unresolved debate about how to perform vibration ...
Influence of Single- and Two-Stage Aggregate Manufacturing Mechanisms on Asphalt Mixture Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the effects of single-stage (jaw crusher alone) and two-stage crushing (jaw crusher followed by an impact crusher) mechanism on the mechanical properties of aggregates. A two-phase study was designed ...
Performance Characterization of Hot In-Place Recycled Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the widespread use of in-place recycling, limited information is available in the literature on in situ and laboratory properties of materials placed through in-place recycling. The main objectives of present study ...
Flutter Limit Investigation for a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blade
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents a new aeroelastic model that governs the extensional, chordwise, flapwise, and torsional vibrations of an isolated horizontal axis wind turbine blade. The model accounts for the sectional offsets between ...
