RISDetecting Shaft-to-Seal Rubbing in Power Generation Turbines With the Acoustic Emission Technology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents results of an investigation to assess the potential of the acoustic emission (AE) technology for detecting seal-to-rotor rubbing in power generation turbines. The experimental ...
Problems with Logarithmic Transformations in Regression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The power model is widely used in engineering as the structure for empirical models. The coefficients are fitted using a logarithmic transformation of the data. The logarithmic transformation leads to a biased model, which ...
Review of HL-93 Bridge Traffic Load Model Using an Extensive WIM Database
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: HL-93, the current bridge traffic load model used in the United States is examined here. Weigh-in-motion (WIM) data from 17 sites in 16 states containing 74 million truck records are used to assess the level of consistency ...
Dystrophin Loss in Engineered Heart Tissues Recapitulates Clinically Relevant Aspects of Dystrophic Cardiomyopathy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Heart failure is the leading cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but the mechanisms underlying the associated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are not fully understood. To address this ...
Quantification of Monthly Mean Regional-Scale Albedo of Marine Stratiform Clouds in Satellite Observations and GCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lanetary albedo?the reflectivity for solar radiation?is of singular importance in determining the amount of solar energy taken in by the Earth?atmosphere system. Modeling albedo, and specifically cloud albedo, correctly ...
Design Fixation From Initial Examples: Provided Versus Self-Generated Ideas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Jansson and Smith (1991, “Design Fixation,” Des. Stud., 12(1), pp. 3–11) demonstrated that design fixation occurs when an example solution is provided along with a design problem. After seeing an example concept—even with ...
A Novel Small-Specimen Planar Biaxial Testing System With Full In-Plane Deformation Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Simulations of soft tissues require accurate and robust constitutive models, whose form is derived from carefully designed experimental studies. For such investigations of membranes or thin specimens, planar biaxial systems ...
Structural Analysis of a Roof Extracted from a Wind Turbine Blade
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The objective of this research is to demonstrate that parts of decommissioned wind turbine blades can be repurposed for infrastructure applications for a sustainable future of the wind power industry. The purpose of this ...
Convenient Access to Archived Predictions: Canada’s CaSPAr Platform
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Long-Term Effects of Reproduction and Lactation on the Rat Supraspinatus Tendon and Proximal Humerus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, women undergo hormonal fluctuations required for fetal development, parturition, and infant growth. These changes have secondary consequences on the maternal musculoskeletal system, ...
