RISNonlinear Elastic In-Plane Buckling of Shallow Truss Arches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The available analytical methods for determining the buckling resistance of trusses typically focus on the local load capacity of individual elements and ignore global in-plane buckling behavior. In addition, theoretical ...
Driving Factors of Household Car Ownership: Development of a National Car Ownership Model for Belgium
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract This study develops a national car ownership model for Belgium, addressing the significant
factors influencing household vehicle ownership across various built densities. Using
the multinomial logistic regression ...
A Transmural Path Model Improves the Definition of the Orthotropic Tissue Structure in Heart Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the past decades, the structure of the heart, human as well as other species, has been explored in a detailed way, e.g., via histological studies or diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging. Nevertheless, the assignment ...
Optimal Control Strategies for Robust Certification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present an optimal control methodology, which we refer to as concentration-of-measure optimal control (COMOC), that seeks to minimize a concentration-of-measure upper bound on the probability ...
Finding the Form of an Irregular Meshed Steel and Glass Shell Based on Construction Constraints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the context of the search for an efficient structural shape to cover the Dutch Maritime Museum courtyard in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the authors briefly discuss the driving design factors that influenced the earliest ...
Structural Optimization of Deploying Structures Composed of Linkages
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Determining the global shape of a deploying structure and the section profiles of its members is a challenging design problem. Geometry, meaning the lengths and relative angles of members, is critical to achieving stable ...
New Spectroradiometers Complying with the NDSC Standards
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The investigation of the effect of solar ultraviolet (UV) and visible radiation on biological organisms and photochemical reactions requires spectral measurements of the desired radiation parameters of high accuracy. The ...
Inverse Dynamics for Discrete Geometric Mechanics of Multibody Systems With Application to Direct Optimal Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present efficient algorithms for computation of the residual of the constrained discrete Euler–Lagrange (DEL) equations of motion for tree structured, rigid multibody systems. In particular, we present ...
Weakening of Cold Halocline Layer Exposes Sea Ice to Oceanic Heat in the Eastern Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 15-yr duration record of mooring observations from the eastern (>70°E) Eurasian Basin (EB) of the Arctic Ocean is used to show and quantify the recently increased oceanic heat flux from intermediate-depth (~150–900 ...
FLUXNET-CH4 Synthesis Activity: Objectives, Observations, and Future Directions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the formation of, and initial results for, a new FLUXNET coordination network for ecosystem-scale methane (CH4) measurements at 60 sites globally, organized by the Global Carbon Project in partnership ...
