RISInvestigation of Combined Effects of Rotational Inertia and Viscosity–Pressure Dependency on the Squeeze Film Characteristics of Parallel Annular Plates Lubricated by Couple Stress Fluid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents combined effects of couple stress fluids and rotational inertia together with considering lubricant viscosity variation with pressure in squeeze film characteristics of parallel annular plates. Squeeze ...
Viscoelastic Analysis of Geogrid-Reinforced Asphaltic Pavement under Different Tire Configurations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The new generation of wide-base tires and the traditional dual-tire assembly are the main types of tire configurations used in the drive and trailing axles of trucks. However, the response of pavement to these configurations ...
On the Long-Term Performance of Solitary Wave-Based Transducers for Nondestructive Evaluation Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique based on highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) has been developed recently by a few groups worldwide. The technique is based on the propagation and detection of these waves ...
Risk Assessment of Infrastructure Using a Modified Adaptive Neurofuzzy System: Theoretical Application to Sewer Mains
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Risk assessment lies at the core of decision making practices, relying on the likelihood of failure incidents and their consequential impacts integrated through a set of decision rules. The incorporation of fuzzy inference ...
In Plane and Transverse Eigenmodes of High Speed Rotating Composite Disks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We apply Hamilton's principle and model the coupled inplane and transverse vibrations of highspeed spinning disks, which are fiberreinforced circumferentially. We search for eigenmodes in the linear regime using a collocation ...
Seismic Response Investigation of Rocking Zipper-Braced Frames under Near-Fault Ground Motions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, a new type of rocking concentrically braced frames called rocking zipper-braced frame is developed. In the proposed system, zipper columns are added to improve the seismic performance of rocking concentrically ...
Dynamic Manipulation and Stiffness Modulation of Cooperative Continuum Robots: Theory and Experiment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cooperative continuum robots (CCRs) are composed of multiple coupled continuum arms to cooperatively conduct manipulation tasks. They can highly enhance the performance of individual continuum arms by providing extra ...
On the Accuracy of Overturn-Based Estimates of Turbulent Dissipation at Rough Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: vidence in support of overturn-based methods, often used to infer turbulent dissipation rate from density profiles, is typically from regions with weaker turbulence than that at rough-topography hotspots. The present work ...
Performance Enhancement of Spacecraft Attitude Control Using Modified Robust Design Optimization in Presence of Sensor Noise
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a robust design optimization (RDO) algorithm is customized to reduce the effect of sensor noise on the accuracy of a nonlinear spacecraft attitude control. The spacecraft attitude is controlled using an ...
Automatic Detection of Endotracheal Intubation During the Anesthesia Procedure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the mathematical modeling and detection of endotracheal (ET) intubation in children under general anesthesia during surgery. In major pediatric surgeries, the airway is often secured with an ...
