RISCoupled Thermohydromechanical Modeling of the Full-Scale In Situ Test “Prototype Repository”
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Prototype Repository project represents a full-scale in situ test of the Swedish concept for high level radioactive waste disposal in deep geological repositories, being conducted at the underground Äspö Hard Rock ...
Performance Evaluation of Solar Irradiance Models at 11 Sites in South America
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. This study provides the first continental-scale, multimodel validation of solar irradiance products in South America, comparing satellite-based datasets (CAMS, Land Surface Analysis Satellite Applications Facility ...
Exponentially Stable Tracking Control for Multijoint Flexible-Link Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we describe a new tracking control law for multijoint flexible-link manipulators. The scheme is a synthesis of the inverse dynamics solution for flexible manipulators developed by ...
Finite Element Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Enhanced Hybrid Composite Structures for Improved Crashworthiness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, two hybrid composite structures were designed, modeled, and tested for improved resistance to impact. They were inspired by bistable composite structures, which are structures composed of two parts: a socalled ...
Dynamic Analysis of Rigid Airport Pavements with Discontinuities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite element procedure for the dynamic analysis of rigid airport pavements with discontinuities is presented. The analysis procedure considers the dynamic interaction between aircraft and a rigid pavement. The rigid ...
Aerodynamic Mitigation of Roof and Wall Corner Suctions Using Simple Architectural Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the use of simple architectural elements such as aerodynamic mitigation devices for reducing high wind-induced suctions occurring at roof and wall corners of low-rise buildings where wind-induced building ...
Study of the Velocity and Strain Fields in the Flow Through Prosthetic Heart Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comparative experimental study of the velocity field and the strain field produced down-stream of biological and mechanical artificial valves is presented. In order to determine the spatial ...
An Empiric-Stochastic Approach, Based on Normalization Parameters, to Simulate Solar Irradiance
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to estimate solar irradiance using an empiric-stochastic approach, which is based on the computation of normalization parameters from the solar irradiance data. For this study, the solar ...
Machine Learning Site Adaptation for Optimizing Heliosat-4 Global Horizontal Irradiance Using Adjacent Satellite Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Accurate estimation of global horizontal irradiance (GHI) from satellite-based models is critical for solar energy applications, particularly when site-specific ground measurements are limited in duration or ...
Using Artificial Intelligence to Analyze the Thermal Behavior of Building Roofs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the application of an artificial neural network to model the thermal behavior of some roof coatings used in buildings. A set of test cells was built to evaluate these roof coatings. The cells were placed ...
