RISDiscussion of “Reliability Index for Serviceability Limit State of Building Foundations” by Yu Wang and Fred H. Kulhawy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Improving the Prediction of Winter Precipitation and Temperature over the Continental United States: Role of the ENSO State in Developing Multimodel Combinations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent research into seasonal climate prediction has focused on combining multiple atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) to develop multimodel ensembles. A new approach to combining multiple GCMs is proposed by ...
Model to Estimate Highway Earthwork Cost in Nepal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In a developing country like Nepal, where in most cases projects are externally financed, the minimization of construction costs is the most important factor in a highway project. But the cost estimates to be used at the ...
VibrationAssisted Axial Nozzle Jet Flow Wire Electrochemical Machining for Micromachining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wire electrochemical machining (WECM) has the capability to produce metal microcomponents with high aspect ratios. However, because interelectrode gap mass transportation of electrolyte is not homogeneous due to inappropriate ...
A Robust Off-Line Method for System Identification: Robust Iterative Least Squares Method With Modified Residuals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A general criterion is proposed for robust identification of both linear and bilinear systems. Following Huber’s minimax principle, the ordinary iterative Gauss-Newton approach is applied, with ...
A Nonlinear Response of Sahel Rainfall to Atlantic Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response over West Africa to uniform warming of the Atlantic Ocean is analyzed using idealized simulations with a regional climate model. With warming of 1 and 1.5 K, rainfall rates increase by 30%?50% over most of West ...
Effects of Perforation Geometry on Pipe Drainage in Agricultural Lands
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Corrugated high density polyethylene pipes, where groundwater enters through perforations on the pipe wall, are widely used in subsurface drainage systems on agricultural lands. There has been a growing interest in using ...
A New Technique of Gear Mesh Stiffness Measurement Using Experimental Modal Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurately measured mesh stiffness (MS) of gear pair is used in the mathematical model of the gearbox for doing the vibration analysis. Mesh stiffness measurement by experimental techniques is an import aspect for measuring ...
Mechanism of Chip Segmentation in Orthogonal Cutting of Zr-Based Bulk Metallic Glass
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are a series of metal alloys with an amorphous structure. The deformation of BMGs occurs in localized regions and is highly sensitive to the applied stress, strain rate, and temperature. This ...
Flexure Based Active Needle for Enhanced Steering Within Soft Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flexible needles with enhanced steerability are desired in minimally invasive surgeries to reach target locations precisely and to bypass critical organs lying in the planned path. We have proposed a flexurebased active ...
