RISFill-and-Spill: Deep Reinforcement Learning Policy Gradient Methods for Reservoir Operation Decision and Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Changes in demand, various hydrological inputs, and environmental stressors are among the issues that reservoir managers and policymakers face on a regular basis. These concerns have sparked interest in applying different ...
An Analytical Approach to Study the Intraoperative Fractures of Femoral Shaft During Total Hip Arthroplasty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical approach which is popular in micromechanical studies has been extended to the solution for the interference fit problem of the femoral stem in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). The multiple inhomogeneity ...
Wastewater Effect on the Deposition of Cohesive Sediment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the characteristics of sediment deposition with three levels of wastewater, different shear stress, and initial sediment concentration were investigated in an annular flume. Sediment used for experiments was ...
An Indirect Indentation Method for Evaluating the Linear Viscoelastic Properties of the Brain Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Indentation experiments offer a robust, fast, and repeatable testing method for evaluating the mechanical properties of the solid-state materials in a wide stiffness range. With the advantage of requiring a minimal sample ...
Riverbank Stability under the Influence of Soil Dispersion Phenomenon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Erosion is one of the key factors in environmental management and river restoration. Different mechanisms influence riverbank stability and mass failure, such as seepage erosion. The present study investigates the effects ...
Effects of Geometrical Parameters on Labyrinth Weir Hydraulics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effects of geometrical parameters (crest height, number of cycles, and plan weir configuration), are investigated experimentally on labyrinth weirs, over a range of headwater ratios of 0.1 to 0.6. Trapezoidal and ...
Strategic Evaluation of Sustainable Practices for HVAC Systems in Small- and Medium-Sized U.S. Manufacturers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article investigates the often overlooked yet crucial role of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in advancing sustainable manufacturing practices in the United States. Through all outcomes of ...

High-Temperature Dynamic Mechanical Properties Characterization of Polymer Coatings via Nanoindentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polymer coatings are widely used in industrial applications. The mechanical properties of these polymer coatings are known to vary with temperature and deformation rate. The characterization of the dynamic mechanical ...
Band Heater Heat Flux Characterization Using Inverse Heat Conduction Problem Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental apparatus was constructed to correlate water flowrate and temperature rise under an external band heater. Due to the physical characteristics of the band heater, its transient heating behavior is unknown. ...
