RISModeling of Asphalt Concrete Fracture Tests with the Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this work, the discrete-element method was used to simulate crack propagation in asphalt concrete in two types of laboratory tests: the disk-shaped compact (DCT) test and the single-edge-notched beam (SEB) test with the ...
Prediction of Surface Wave Elevation Based on Pressure Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A deterministic method for predicting wave elevation based on pressure measurements is developed. The method is based on the hybrid wave model (HWM), which employs both conventional and phase ...
Free-Wave Energy Dissipation in Experimental Breaking Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several transient wave trains containing an isolated plunging or spilling breaker at a prescribed location were generated in a two-dimensional wave flume using an energy focusing technique. Surface elevation measurements ...
A Fluid–Structure Interaction Model of the Left Coronary Artery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A fluid–structure interaction (FSI) model of a left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery was developed, incorporating transient blood flow, cyclic bending motion of the artery, and myocardial contraction. The ...
Experimental Study of Cold-Formed Steel Built-Up Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper describes a comprehensive experimental program on cold-formed steel built-up beams with two different cross-sectional geometries. The work aimed to experimentally investigate the interaction between the individual ...
A Novel Technique for Production of Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been widely used where high specific properties and temperature resistance are required, particularly in aerospace applications. In this work, an ASTM-1100 aluminum alloy in the form ...
A Shearing Stretching Device That Can Apply Physiological Fluid Shear Stress and Cyclic Stretch Concurrently to Endothelial Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Endothelial cell (EC) morphology and functions can be highly impacted by the mechanical stresses that the cells experience in vivo. In most areas in the vasculature, ECs are continuously exposed to unsteady blood flowinduced ...
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Er,Cr:YSGG Laser For Root Canal Disinfection: Theoretical Simulation of Temperature Elevations in Root Dentin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) lasers are currently being investigated for disinfecting the root canal system. Prior to using laser therapy, it is important to ...
Economic Value of Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Agriculture: Review of Ex-Ante Assessments and Recommendations for Future Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Advanced information in the form of seasonal climate forecasts has the potential to improve farmers? decision making, leading to increases in farm profits. Interdisciplinary initiatives seeking to understand and exploit ...
Estimating the Local Time of Emergence of Climatic Variables Using an Unbiased Mapping of GCMs: An Application in Semiarid and Mediterranean Chile
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe time at which climate change signal can be clearly distinguished from noise is known as time of emergence (ToE) and is typically detected by a general circulation model (GCM) signal-to-noise ratio exceeding a ...
