RISA New Analytic Approximation for the Hydrodynamic Forces in Finite-Length Journal Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new method for determining a closed-form expression for the hydrodynamic forces in finite-length plain journal bearings is introduced. The method is based on applying correction functions to ...
Rigidity Based Stabilization of Multi Agent Formations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the decentralized formation control of multiagent systems moving in the plane using rigid graph theory. Using a doubleintegrator agent model (as opposed to the simpler, singleintegrator model), ...
Robust Adaptive Control of the Nonlinearly Parameterized Human Shank Dynamics for Electrical Stimulation Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce two robust adaptive controllers for the human shank motion tracking problem that is inherent in neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) systems. The control laws adaptively compensate for ...
Vibration Serviceability and Environmental Impact of Steel-Concrete Composite Floors Featuring Openings and Partitions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Floor openings and nonstructural full-height partitions are often ignored in both finite-element modeling of long-span office floors and calculations of vertical footfall-induced vibrations, despite quite a few research ...
Generalized Finite-Volume Theory for Elastic Stress Analysis in Solid Mechanics—Part I: Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A generalized finite-volume theory is proposed for two-dimensional elasticity problems on rectangular domains. The generalization is based on a higher-order displacement field representation within ...
Generalized Finite-Volume Theory for Elastic Stress Analysis in Solid Mechanics—Part II: Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In Part I, a generalized finite-volume theory was constructed for two-dimensional elasticity problems on rectangular domains based on a higher-order displacement field representation within individual ...
Exploring the Correlation between Halorespirer Biomarker Concentrations and TCE Dechlorination Rates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Whether the concentration of selected genetic biomarkers could be correlated to the rate of trichloroethylene (TCE) reductive dechlorination was investigated. Samples from a pilot-scale aquifer that had been bioaugmented ...
Three Dimensional Dynamic Formation Control of Multi Agent Systems Using Rigid Graphs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of formation control of multiagent systems in threedimensional (3D) space, where the desired formation is dynamic. This is motivated by applications where the formation size and/or ...
Generalized FVDAM Theory for Periodic Materials Undergoing Finite Deformations—Part I: Framework
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The recently constructed generalized finitevolume theory for twodimensional linear elasticity problems on rectangular domains is further extended to make possible simulation of periodic materials with complex microstructures ...
Generalized FVDAM Theory for Periodic Materials Undergoing Finite Deformations—Part II: Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In Part I, a generalized finitevolume direct averaging micromechanics (FVDAM) theory was constructed for periodic materials with complex microstructures undergoing finite deformations. The generalization involves the use ...
