RISDesign Synthesis and Preliminary Evaluation of a Novel Tool to Noninvasively Characterize Pressurized, Physiological Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A prolonged increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is life-threatening, yet commonly seen in intensive care units (ICUs). Despite this, existing clinically accepted IAP measurement techniques are invasive and not ...
Discrete-Element Method Simulations of the Response of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems to Multidirectional Seismic Motion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional microscale framework utilizing the discrete-element method (DEM) is presented to analyze the seismic response of soil-foundation-structure systems subjected to three-directional base ...
Observations of Transient Linear Organization and Nonlinear Scale Interactions in Lake-Effect Clouds. Part I: Transient Linear Organization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cold-air outbreak of 13?14 January 1998 during the Lake-Induced Convection Experiment was characterized by large positive buoyancy flux and moderate wind shear. Although theory predicts only cellular organization in ...
Observations of Transient Linear Organization and Nonlinear Scale Interactions in Lake-Effect Clouds. Part II: Nonlinear Scale Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Linearly organized convection and associated horizontal roll vortices occasionally occur in atmospheric conditions in which theory predicts only cellular organization. One possible contributor to the occurrence of rolls ...
The Frequency and Characteristics of Lake-Effect Precipitation Events Associated with the New York State Finger Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents a climatological analysis of the frequency and characteristics of lake-effect precipitation events that were initiated or enhanced by lakes within the New York State (NYS) Finger Lakes region for the ...
Climatological Conditions of Lake-Effect Precipitation Events Associated with the New York State Finger Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatological analysis was conducted of the environmental and atmospheric conditions that occurred during 125 identified lake-effect (LE) precipitation events in the New York State Finger Lakes region for the 11 winters ...
Fault Tolerance of Semiactive Seismic Isolation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A six-story seismically isolated structure fitted with semiactive hydraulic devices is analyzed in order to study the effect of time lag in the devices and mass eccentricity in the superstructure on the lateral-torsional ...
Optimal Management of Wind Energy with Storage: Structural Implications for Policy and Market Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well known that the generation resource uncertainty induced by significant wind capacity raises concerns about grid security, price stability, and revenue adequacy. One of the most promising solutions is the use of ...
Transverse Third-Damper to Improve Suspension Systems for In-Wheel Motor Driven Electric Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The commensurate increase of unsprung mass due to in-wheel motors can have negative effects on either ride comfort or roadholding capability of electric vehicles (EVs). To counteract those effects, semi-active or fully ...
Tip Vortex Cavitation Suppression by Active Mass Injection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Injection of water and aqueous polymer solutions in to the core of a trailing vortex was found to delay the inception of tip vortex cavitation (TVC). Optimal levels of mass injection reduced ...
