What Aspect of Model Performance is the Most Relevant to Skillful Future Projection on a Regional Scale?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Different Phases in Manual Materials Handling Have Different Performance Criteria: Evidence From Multi-Objective Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A manual material handling task involves the phases of reaching, lifting, unloading, and standing up (RLUS). Understanding the mechanisms of manual material handling is important for occupational health and the development ...
How to Carry Loads Economically: Analysis Based on a Predictive Biped Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carrying heavy loads costs additional energy during walking and leads to fatigue of the user. Conventionally, the load is fixed on the body. Some recent studies showed energy cost reduction when the relative motion of the ...
Research on Freeze–Thaw Cycle Rock Damage Combining Multiscale Simulation and Test Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract This paper aims to study the effects of freeze–thaw cycles on rock deterioration through
systematic test analysis of rock samples subjected to different cycles. The tests
include static compression, splitting ...
An Improved Infiltration Model for Unsaturated Loess Considering Deformation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Loess collapsibility under wetting conditions poses significant challenges to slope
stability and infrastructure. To address limitations in traditional Green–Ampt infiltration
models under stress, this study ...
The Energy Absorption Behavior of Cruciforms Designed by Kirigami Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cruciforms are widely employed as energy absorbers in ships and offshore structures, or basic components in sandwich panel and multicell structure. The kirigami approach is adopted in the design of cruciform in this ...
External Factors Affecting Determination of Mineral Powder Contact Angle with Capillary Rise Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The difficulty of standardizing the test conditions for the contact angle (CA) of a mineral powder (MP) leads to results with poor repeatability. To solve this issue, external factors that influence the CA test of a MP ...
Improving the Energy Absorption of Cruciform With Large Global Slenderness Ratio by Kirigami Approach and Welding Technology
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional energy absorber usually employs stubby thin-walled structures. Compared with the limited number of stubby thin-walled structures, an equipment has a large number of slender thin-walled structures that has the ...
Heat Transfer Characteristics of Nonuniform Flow Around a Circular Cylinder in a T-Junction Duct
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat transfer characteristics of a circular cylinder in the branch of a T-junction duct are experimentally investigated in a low-speed wind tunnel with Reynolds number of Reb = 9163. Local and average heat transfer ...
Development of a Multi-Cable-Driven Continuum Robot Controlled by Parallel Platforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cable-driven continuum robots exhibit excellent capabilities in the unstructured environment due to their inherent compliance and dexterity. To improve the reliability and load capacity of continuum robots, increasing the ...
