RISEffects of Load Sharing in Wood Tongue-and-Groove Plank Decking under Concentrated Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tongue-and-groove plank wood decking is a product that is commonly used in post and beam timber construction to transfer gravity loads on roofs and floors. Little research or development has been done on plank decking since ...
Pressure Distribution and Global Forces on a Bridge Deck Section: Experimental and CFD Analysis of Static Aerodynamic Forces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two different experimental approaches for the evaluation of a bridge deck’s stationary aerodynamic forces are studied in this paper: both wind tunnel measurement of global force and pressure distribution are evaluated on ...
Fostering Current Student Relationships to Promote Graduate Reachback: Collaborative Student and Faculty Development following the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modification of Clay with Sodium and Potassium Chloride Brines: Insights from Laboratory-Sedimented Samples of High-Plasticity Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractIn engineering practice, the need for evaluating and controlling deformations that
occur upon unloading of clays is met in several applications, including land reclamation,
excavations, tunneling, and well stability. ...
Toward Dosing Precision and Insulin Stability in an Artificial Pancreas System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A fully implantable artificial pancreas (AP) still represents the holy grail for diabetes treatment. The quest for efficient miniaturized implantable insulin pumps, able to accurately regulate the blood glucose profile and ...
Aerodynamic Study on a Heavy Truck Passing by a Bridge Pylon under Crosswinds Using CFD
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-sided vehicles experience sudden changes in aerodynamic forces when passing through the wake of towers of bridges under crosswind. This may lead, in the worst case, to vehicle rollover or undesired lane changes, thus ...
Coupling of ASTEC V2.1 and RASCAL 4.3 Codes to Evaluate the Source Term and the Radiological Consequences of a Loss-of-Cooling Accident at a Spent Fuel Pool
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with a general methodology to evaluate the Source Term (ST) and the Radiological Consequences (RC) of a hypothetical Severe Accident (SA) at a Fukushima-like Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) by coupling ASTEC 2.1 and ...
Enhancing Blade Durability to Foreign Object Damage Through Multidisciplinary Design Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Foreign object damage (FOD) poses a significant challenge to the durability of compressor blades in aero engines. Impacts from foreign objects can threaten structural integrity and increase maintenance costs. ...
Tribological Study of a Slider Bearing in the Supersonic Regime
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aerodynamic slider bearings are currently used in various types of turbomachinery. Many such systems perform at increasingly faster speeds and may operate in the supersonic regime. Although there is extensive research on ...
