RISBimodal Alongwind Fatigue of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Alongwind actions on structures may produce a great number of stress cycles and lead to significant damage accumulation. A critical analysis of the pertinent methods proposed in the literature provides evidence of the ...
Closed-Form Prediction of the Alongwind-Induced Fatigue of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind-induced fatigue is a crucial topic in the design of wind-sensitive structures. Despite this, methods proposed in literature are mainly addressed to research, or they are too simplified for engineering applications. ...
Directional Wind-Induced Fatigue of Slender Vertical Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The wind-excited vibrations of structures induce fluctuating stresses that lead to fatigue damage accumulation and may determine structural failure without exceeding ultimate strength. This paper proposes a mathematical ...
Performance Improvement of a Circular MCFC Through Optimal Design of the Fluid Distribution System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the prototype of a circular molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) built in the laboratories of FN SpA Nuove Tecnologie e Servizi Avanzati is analyzed using a tridimensional computational ...
Mathematical Modeling of the Circulation in the Liver Lobule
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of blood circulation in the liver lobule. We aim to find the pressure and flux distributions within a liver lobule. We also investigate the ...
A Finite Element Study of Electromagnetic Riveting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electromagnetic riveting, used in some aerospace assembly processes, involves rapid deformation, leading to the finished rivet configuration. Analysis of this process is described for the case of ...
Detailed Simulation of the Ohmic Resistance of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical evaluation of the ohmic resistance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is very important because internal ohmic resistances account for a large part of the losses occurring in SOFCs ...
Qualitative Description of a Shoulder Ice Barrier Ice Interaction During Model Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes, qualitatively and through visual observations, the icesheet interaction with a shoulder ice barrier (SIB) during model tests. The model tests were performed in the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) ...
Seismic Stability Procedures for Solid-Waste Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: U.S. federal regulations require that municipal solid-waste landfills located in seismic impact zones be designed to resist earthquake hazards. However, due to the lack of well-documented case histories, analytical procedures ...
A Study of the Mechanical Forces on Aphakic Iris-Fixated Intraocular Lenses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Iris-fixated aphakic intraocular lenses (IFIOL) are used in cataract surgery when more common intraocular lenses (IOL) cannot be adopted because of the absence of capsular bag support. These lenses can be implanted on ...
