RISDynamic Model-Based Fuzzy Controller for Maximum Power Point Tracking of Photovoltaic Systems: A Linear Matrix Inequality Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a new systematic approach for stability analysis and controller design of nonlinear solar photovoltaic (PV) power system is proposed. Based on a nonquadratic Lyapunov function (NQLF), a model-based dynamic ...
Stress-Based Topology Optimization of Steel-Frame Structures Using Members with Standard Cross Sections: Gradient-Based Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Multicriteria Group Decision-Making Technique for a Low-Class Road Maintenance Program
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low-class roads substantially differ from main roads in terms of extensiveness, databank availability, and profitability, which stresses the need for an extraordinarily sophisticated decision-making mechanism for maintenance ...
Out-of-Plane Flexural Performance of GFRP-Reinforced Masonry Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to assess the out-of-plane flexural performance of masonry walls that are reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) rods, as an alternative for steel rebars. Eight
Behavior of X60 Line Pipe Subjected to Axial and Lateral Deformations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Buried pipelines may be subjected to various complicated combinations of forces and deformations. This may result in localized curvature, strains, and associated deformations in the pipe wall. ...
An Experimental and Simulation Study for Powder Injection Multitrack Laser Cladding of P420 Stainless Steel on AISI 1018 Steel for Selected Mechanical Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An Experimental and Simulation Study for Powder Injection Multitrack Laser Cladding of P420 Stainless Steel on AISI 1018 Steel for Selected Mechanical Properties Laser cladding is a rapid physical metallurgy process with ...
Characterizing Construction Demand Surge Using Spatial Panel Data Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The socioeconomic losses in the aftermath of large-scale natural disasters have increased dramatically over the last few decades. The postdisaster survival of cities and communities depend on their capabilities to reconstruct ...
Relative Sea Level Rise Impacts on Storm Surge Flooding of Transportation Infrastructure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Relative sea level rise increases the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to storm surge flooding. In this study, we develop, validate, and apply a coupled hydrodynamic and wave model to simulate storm surge inundation ...
A Barotropic Model of Eddy Saturation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEddy saturation refers to a regime in which the total volume transport of an oceanic current is insensitive to the wind stress strength. Baroclinicity is currently believed to be the key to the development of an ...
Probabilistic Modeling of Bridge Deck Unseating during Hurricane Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although coastal bridges have exhibited significant susceptibility to damage during hurricane-induced wave and surge events, probabilistic models are lacking to quantify the vulnerability of bridges under a range of ...
