RISEffect of Membrane Load on the Stability of an Electrostatically Actuated Initially Curved Circular Micro Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of membrane load on the axisymmetric bistable behavior of circular curved micro plates are studied via an axisymmetric reduced order (RO) model, incorporating radial prestress. The model is based on Kirchhoff’s ...
Exergy, Energy, and Gas Flow Analysis of Hydrofractured Shale Gas Extraction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objectives of this study are to (a) evaluate the exergy and energy demand for constructing a hydrofractured shale gas well and determine its typical exergy and energy returns on investment (ExROI and EROI), and (b) ...
