RISPerformance of BiSPVT Systems and Passive Cooling Techniques: A Climate-Sensitive Approach across Six Climatic Conditions of India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractFocusing on the Indian subcontinent, a tropical region with ample sunshine, this paper
examines the building integrated semitransparent photovoltaic thermal (BiSPVT) system’s
viability. The study improves the ...
Effects of Soaking in Water, Base Oil, Ionic Liquid, and Grease of an Epoxy/UHMWPE/MoS2 Composite on Mechanical and Tribological Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Liquid absorption and tribological studies of epoxy-based composite with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and MoS2, sliding against steel, were conducted. Composites, as coating and as a bulk, were soaked in water, ...
Seismic Fragility of Multispan Simply Supported Bridge with Drop Spans and Steel Bearings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multispan simply supported bridges with drop spans and steel bearings were commonly constructed in northern India during the 1970s, and little knowledge about their seismic behavior is available in the literature. Because ...
Integrated Decentralized Treatment for Improved N and K Recovery from Urine
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Urine has been recognized as the main contributor of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at wastewater treatment plants, yet it makes up less than 1% of the volume. This study aimed to assess a novel decentralized ...
Energy Matrices of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal Systems: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, an attempt has been made to study and analyze the integration of residential buildings with photovoltaic (PV) systems. PV panels can be integrated with buildings in various ways (façades, double skin façades, ...
Tribological Studies of Epoxy Composites With UHMWPE and MoS2 Fillers Coated on Bearing Steel: Dry Interface and Grease Lubrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Epoxy with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and MoS2 fillers was coated on a bearing steel (SAE 52100). Frictional and wear properties of the coated samples in sliding contact were investigated on a ...
Single-Motor Controlled Tendon-Driven Peristaltic Soft Origami Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origami-based paper folding is being used in robotics community to provide stiffness and flexibility simultaneously while designing smart structures. In this paper, we propose a novel design inspired by origami pattern ...
Modeling of Diffusion Bonding Time in Dissimilar Titanium Alloys: Preliminary Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Titanium alloys are excellent candidates for aerospace applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In the aerospace industry, diffusion bonding (DB) combined with superplastic forming ...
Numerical and Experimental Studies of Ballistic Compression Process in a Soft Recovery System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A ballistic compression type soft recovery system can stop a free-flying supersonic projectile in a controlled manner. The moment such a projectile enters the System, a normal shock gets created and starts hurtling down, ...
Simulation-Based Analysis and Design of Passive Back Exoskeleton for Squat Lifting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Back pain is the most common musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) that manual material handling laborers face as they lift heavy objects. To overcome the back pain problem, an assistive device (Exoskeleton) can be worn during ...
