RISFinite Difference Method for Computation of 1D Pollutant Migration through Saturated Homogeneous Soil Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The physical processes such as advection, dispersion, and diffusion and interaction between the solution and the soil solids such as sorption, biodegradation, and retention processes have been considered in the governing ...
Three-Dimensional Analysis of Contaminant Migration through Saturated Homogeneous Soil Media Using FDM
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finite-difference method (FDM) is applied herein to solve the three-dimensional (3D) contaminant transport model to predict pollutant migration through clay liner or clay deposit in waste landfill. The seven pollutant ...
Analysis of 1D Contaminant Migration through Saturated Soil Media Underlying Aquifer Using FDM
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finite-difference method (FDM) has been adapted herein to solve a one-dimensional (1D) contaminant transport model to predict contaminant migration through soil in waste landfill underlying an aquifer. Providing an effective ...
An Improved Method of Vertical Slices to Determine Seismic Passive Earth Pressure and Its Point of Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for calculating seismic passive earth pressure, its point of application, and the approximate stress-state within the rupture wedge. The method of vertical slices combined with the ...
Parameter Identification for a Four-Compartment Controller Muscle Fatigue Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Localized muscle fatigue arises from interacting central and peripheral mechanisms whose contributions vary with contraction intensity and joint velocity. The four-compartment controller with enhanced recovery ...
Evaluation of Passive Earth Resistance Using an Improved Limit Equilibrium Method of Slices
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study proposes a new approach to solve passive earth pressure problems using the method of slices, coupled with the limit equilibrium (LE) technique. Unlike existing LE studies that adopted failure surfaces of ...
Parametric Study and Correlation of Racetrack Shaped Jets for Leading Edge Impingement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a detailed experimental investigation of heat transfer and pressure loss for leading edge jet impingement using square-edged, racetrack jets. Experiments were carried out over various parameters: ...
Experimental Validation of Analytical Predictions for the “Deviant” Density of Oleo-Nanofluids Based on the nanoFin Effect
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental validation of the analytical predictions for the “deviant” density enhancement of nanofluids is presented in this study. Experimental measurements of density were complemented by transmission electron microscopy ...
Repetitive Lifting Motion Predictions Considering Muscle Fatigue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper predicts the optimal motion for a repetitive lifting task considering muscle fatigue. The Denavit–Hartenberg (DH) representation is employed to characterize the two-dimensional (2D) digital human model with 10 ...
