RISMicroparameters Calibration for Loose and Cemented Soil When Using Particle Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical model for the loose and the cemented component of the Torino subsoil is presented in this paper. The model is represented by a dense packing of nonuniform sized cylindrical particles with clumps by using the ...
Numerical Simulation of Seismic-Induced Failure of a Precast Structure during the Emilia Earthquake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper describes the failure scenario of a precast building that collapsed during the 212 Emilia earthquake. By means of time-history analyses on a detailed finite-element model, the dynamic behavior of the structure ...
The Use of Hydrants for Transient Test-Based Diagnosis of the Water Distribution Systems of Milan, Italy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In a pilot study for the diagnosis through transient tests of the water distribution systems of Milan, Italy, hydrants were used for both pressure measurement and pressure wave generation. In the field tests, the maneuver ...
A Numerical and Experimental Analysis of a Chain of Flexible Bodies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A flexible multi-body dynamics approach is described. It uses an equivalent rigid link system from which are measured small displacements. The equations of motion are obtained by direct application ...
Direct Geometrico Static Problem of Underconstrained Cable Driven Parallel Robots With Three Cables1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies the direct geometricostatic problem (DGP) of underconstrained cabledriven parallel robots (CDPRs) with three cables. The task consists in determining the endeffector pose and the cable tensile forces ...
Inverse Geometrico Static Problem of Underconstrained Cable Driven Parallel Robots With Three Cables1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies underconstrained cabledriven parallel robots (CDPRs) with three cables. A major challenge in the study of these robots is the intrinsic coupling between kinematics and statics, which must be tackled ...
Decoupled and Homokinetic Transmission of Rotational Motion via Constant-Velocity Joints in Closed-Chain Orientational Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents novel 2DOF and 3DOF closed-chain orientational manipulators, whose end-effector motion is actuated in a decoupled and homokinetic way by frame-located motors via holonomic ...
On the Use of Zigzag Functions in Equivalent Single Layer Theories for Laminated Composite and Sandwich Beams: A Comparative Study and Some Observations on External Weak Layers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents a comparison between two existing zigzag functions that are used to improve equivalent single layer (ESL) theories for the analysis of multilayered composite and sandwich beams. ESL theories are easy to ...
Discussion: “A Numerical Methodology to Predict Exhaust Plumes of Propulsion Nozzles” (Nasuti, F., Niccoli, R., and Onofri, M., 1998, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 120, pp. 563–569)

The Detection of Weekly Preferential Occurrences with an Application to Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The detection of weekly preferential occurrences in atmospheric and hydrologic processes has recently attracted much attention as a way to identify the signature of anthropogenic climatic changes. The interpretation of ...
