Review of Hitting the Brakes: Engineering Design and the Production of Knowledge by Ann Johnson
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Interactive Worksheets for Teaching Atmospheric Aerosols and Cloud Physics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Applets allow students to playfully interact with physical relationships and atmospheric models in an inquiry-based course on Atmospheric Physics.Student-centered active learning pedagogies improve learning outcomes and ...
Additive Manufacturing for Serial Production of High-Performance Metal Parts
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process that builds parts layer-by-layer from sliced CAD models to form solid objects. Just a few years ago, 3D printing was primarily used for rapid prototyping. Due to improvements in ...
Simulation-Based Analysis of Integrated Production and Jobsite Logistics in Mechanized Tunneling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The planning of jobsite layouts and logistics management has a major impact on the performance of tunnel construction projects that use tunnel-boring machines (TBMs). Frequently, projects do not reach the highest possible ...
Product Family Design With Solution Spaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design for optimal commonality in product families is different from design for optimal performance. While optimal performance may be achieved by the choice of appropriate design parameter values for all system components, ...
Web Shear Buckling of Steel-Concrete Composite Girders: Large-Scale Experimental Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study introduces a large-scale testing campaign on five suitably sized steel and steel-concrete composite plate girders subjected to web shear buckling. The focus of this investigation is on understanding the structural ...
Design of a Phase Separation System for a Direct Steam Generation Parabolic Trough Collector Field
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a parabolic trough collector field with direct steam generation under varying solar conditions is analyzed using a transient simulation model. It is found that the peak ...
A Database of Optimal Airfoils for Axial Compressor Throughflow Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Airfoil shapes tailored to specific inflow conditions and loading requirements can offer a significant performance potential over classic airfoil shapes. However, their optimal operating range has to be matched thoroughly ...
Sensitivity of Tropical Rainfall to Banda Sea Diffusivity in the Community Climate System Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several observational studies suggest that the vertical diffusivity in the Indonesian marginal seas is an order of magnitude larger than in the open ocean and what is used in most ocean general circulation models. The ...
Investigation on Constraint Effect of a Reactor Pressure Vessel Subjected to Pressurized Thermal Shocks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The integrity of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) related to pressurized thermal shocks (PTSs) has been extensively studied. This paper introduces the method of using fracture mechanics for the integrity analysis of a RPV ...
