RISRacking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Formed from a thick layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board, structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a viable alternative to traditional wood stud shear walls. Developed in North ...
Hydrometeorological Parameters in Prediction of Soil Temperature by Means of Artificial Neural Network: Case Study in Wyoming
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study was undertaken to analyze the performance of three back-propagation training algorithms of artificial neural network (ANN) along with a multiple linear regression model (MLR) for transient simulation of ...
Simulation of Quasi-Static and Dynamic Collapses of Rectangular Granular Columns Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The quasi-static collapse of granular material where the effect of particle inertia is negligible is an important topic of interest in various natural phenomena and industrial processes. However, less focus has been placed ...
Fully Overlapping Nailed Joints with Steel Gussets in Timber Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation into the translational behavior of timber joints formed with steel gusset plates and connected by fully overlapping nails. Over 1,200 joints have been tested and their ...
On Superquadric Human Modeling and Risk Assessment for Safe Planning of Human-Safe Robotic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces a new superquadric-based human body modeling technique. The model is used as part of an on-line path planning scheme. The path planning scheme utilizes a previously proposed ...
Modeling of Dissolved Oxygen Applying Stepwise Regression and a Template-Based Fuzzy Logic System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops a template-based fuzzy inference system (TFIS) capable of simulating the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of an example stream by using daily data (2009–2012). Stepwise regression (SR) analysis and ...
Design and Development of the Transmission for a Fully Actuated 5-Degrees-of-Freedom Compliant Robot Manipulator With a Single Motor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a novel architecture for the actuation and transmission system of a 5-degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) compliant robot manipulator. The compliant behavior of the robot is achieved using inherently compliant ...
Study of Magnetic Field Effects on the Oxygen Transfer in Liquid Lead Cavity Flow Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Natural convection and oxygen transfer characteristics in square cavity subjected to the magnetic field are studied numerically. Oxygen transfer in liquid metals has attracted much attention because it can decrease the ...
Aerodynamic Design of S Shaped Diffusers Using Ball–Spine Inverse Design Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, an inverse design algorithm called ball–spine algorithm (BSA) was introduced for the design of 2D ducts. In this approach, the walls are considered as a set of virtual balls that can move freely along the ...
Simulation of Collapse of Granular Columns Using the Discrete Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical investigation of axisymmetric collapse of granular columns has been conducted using the discrete element method (DEM). The simulated granular columns have a constant initial ...
