RISEffect of Tubing on Measurements of Small Transient Pressure Signals in Liquids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is often necessary to connect the pressure transducer used for measurements of static and dynamic pressure signals to the pressure source by means of a connecting tube. The effects of the ...
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting from Nonlinear Vibrations of Functionally Graded Beams: Finite-Element Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this research, the piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) from nonlinear vibrations of a functionally graded beam is presented. The material properties of the harvester (both the substructure and piezoelectric layers) ...
Thermal Performance of a Heat Storage Module Using PCM’s With Different Melting Temperatures: Mathematical Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present study, the performance of a heat storage unit consisting of number of vertical cylindrical capsules filled with phase change materials, with air flowing across them for heat ...
Dissolution-Seepage Coupled Analysis through Formations Containing Soluble Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seepage flow can dissolve particulate soluble materials contained in soil layers and rock formations. The above-mentioned dissolution increases the porosity of the formation and hence seepage flow, which in turn progressively ...
Thermal Performance of a Heat Storage Module Using PCM’s With Different Melting Temperature: Experimental
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A latent heat storage module was constructed, consisting of 45 cylindrical capsules fixed vertically in 15 rows. The capsules, made of 0.335-m long copper tubes having external diameters of ...
Distillation of Ethanol in a Solar Still: Studies on Heat and Mass Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A single-basin solar still may be used for primary concentration of dilute ethanol produced from fermentation. In order to describe the simultaneous heat and mass transfer in the still, different ...
Dynamic Analysis of Laminated Composite Coated Beams Carrying Multiple Accelerating Oscillators Using a Coupled Finite Element-Differential Quadrature Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a numerical algorithm using a coupled finite element-differential quadrature (DQ) method is proposed for the dynamic analysis of laminated composite coated beams subjected to a ...
A Comprehensive Study on Nonlinear Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Harvesters under Moving Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The goal in this research was to investigate harvesting energy from a nonlinear functionally graded beam with bonded piezoelectric patch under multiple moving loads. The material of the harvester was considered to be varied ...
Application of Center Manifold Theory to Regulation of a Flexible Beam
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of regulation of a flexible lumped parameter beam. The controller is an active/passive mass-spring-dashpot mechanism which is free to slide along the beam. ...
Regulation of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Structure Using Internal Resonance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a first attempt at using an energy based control technique to regulate the oscillations of a flexible joint, flexible arm device, through computer simulation. This ...
