Discussion of “Educational Simulation in Construction: Virtual Construction Simulator” by Dragana Nikolic, Shrimant Jaruhar, and John I. Messner
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Kinematics and Dynamics of a Self-Stressed Cartesian Cable-Driven Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel hybrid cable-driven mechanism with Cartesian motion is introduced. It consists of a rigid-link Cartesian mechanism and a cable drive system with stationary actuators to provide the motion. ...
Truck Capacity Selection for Earthmoving
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In a major earthmoving operation involving a loader and trucks, a careful selection of equipment size can result in substantial savings both in time and cost. When planning an earthmoving operation, usually the size of the ...
Strength Variability of Conventional Slab Formwork Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wooden formwork design is currently based on the criteria developed for the design of wood in new condition. To develop formwork design criteria that include the effect of material reuse and formwork installation workmanship, ...
Predesign Cost Estimating Method for Multistory Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Historical building costs are used to derive the mathematical relationship among the cost, height, and typical floor area of multistory office buildings. The method of least squares is used to select the functional form ...
Acoustic Metamaterial Plates With Interlinked Octuple-Action Vibration Absorbers for Multistopband Elastic Wave Mitigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article explores an innovative vibration suppression design, termed octuple-action (OA), for acoustic metamaterial plates, aimed at mitigating the propagation of acoustic waves. The design's goal is to create broad ...
Failure Mechanisms of the Wellbore Mechanical Barrier Systems: Implications for Well Integrity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy sustainability is the main motive behind the evolution of the concept of well integrity in the oil and gas industry. The concept of well integrity adopts technical, operational, environmental, organizational, and ...
The Blue Hydrogen Economy: A Promising Option for the Near-to-Mid-Term Energy Transition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydrogen is recently being promoted immensely as the primary energy carrier to replace fossil fuels for the envisioned environmentally friendly and sustainable future energy system, given its peculiar properties and ...
Identifying the Effects of Geometric and Operational Parameters on Merging Speed and Breakdown Probability at Expressway Merge Segments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Merging segments frequently experience traffic breakdowns as traffic flow shifts from free-flow conditions to congestion. This transition is primarily attributed to the arrival of vehicles from on-ramps onto expressways, ...
A Review on Well Integrity Issues for Underground Hydrogen Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Renewable energy production is limited by the fluctuations limiting their application. Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is one possible alternative to reduce the gap between supply and demand by storing the energy converted ...
