RISLarge Strain Settling Behavior of Polymer-Amended Laterite Slurries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Knowledge of the settling properties of polymer-amended slurries is pivotal for improving throughput and yield during metal extraction and for developing tailings streams with superior geotechnical properties. This paper ...
Torsional Stiffness of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A theoretical investigation of the static and dynamic torsional stiffness of arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in a homogeneous half‐space, using a quadratic‐element‐based boundary element algorithm, is presented. ...
Torsional Radiation Damping of Arbitrarily Shaped Embedded Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Radiation damping of torsionally oscillating, arbitrarily shaped rigid foundations embedded in linear hysteretic homogeneous soil is studied parametrically with a rigorous boundary element formulation. A simplified analytical ...
Performance and Cost Analysis of Conventional Petrol Car Converted Into Solar-Electric Hybrid Car
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vehicles are getting transformed from a single source of energy to dual or multiple sources of energy due to ever-increasing fuel problems and environment-related issues. Although hybrid vehicles provide environmental ...
A Comparative Study of Syngas Production From Two Types of Biomass Feedstocks With Waste Heat Recovery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with an integrated biomass system developed for syngas production with waste heat recovery option and analyzes this system thermodynamically using both energy and exergy approaches. Also, an aspenplus ...
Detecting Collusion in Traditional Contracts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractCompetitive tendering ensures transparency, probity, and value for money, but client,
consultant, tenderer, supplier, and engineer collude for self-gain, and bids become
uncompetitive. Uncompetitive tendering impedes ...
Nonlinear Station-Keeping Control in the Vicinity of the Sun-Earth L2 Point Using Solar Radiation Pressure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of solar radiation pressure for station-keeping at a sub-L2 Sun-Earth/Moon collinear libration point is presented. Numerical halo and Lissajous reference trajectories are generated for the sub-L2 libration point. ...
Design Gust Wind Speeds in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analysis of gust winds in the United States has resulted in a new wind speed map for design-level winds. The map is based on 50-year peak gust speeds rather than fastest mile speeds used in the national wind load standard ...
Approaches for Reduced-Order Modeling of Electrically Actuated von-Karman Microplates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents and compares different approaches to develop reduced-order models for the nonlinear von-Karman rectangular microplates actuated by nonlinear electrostatic forces. The reduced-order models aim to ...
Influence of Gypsification on Engineering Behavior of Expansive Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Volume change in argillaceous sediments can take place due to either swelling of expansive clay or gypsification of anhydrous calcium sulfate. Gypsification offers a variety of serious geotechnical hazards such as high ...
