RISOptimal Perturbation Iteration Method for Solving Nonlinear Heat Transfer Equations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the new optimal perturbation iteration method (OPIM) is introduced and applied for solving nonlinear differential equations arising in heat transfer. The effectiveness of the proposed method will be tested ...
Multi-Stability Property of Magneto-Kresling Truss Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Kresling truss structure, derived from Kresling origami, has been widely studied for its bi-stability and various other properties that are useful for diverse engineering applications. The stable states of Kresling ...
Structural Reliability Analysis Using Combined Space Partition Technique and Unscented Transformation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
The Effects of Interfacial Particles on the Contact of an Elastic Sphere With a Rigid Flat Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), a rigid wafer is forced on a rough elastomeric polishing pad, while a slurry containing abrasive particles flows through the interface. One of the important ...
Lateral Vibration of Two Axially Translating Beams Interconnected by a Winkler Foundation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transverse vibration of two axially moving beams connected by a Winkler elastic foundation is analyzed analytically. The two beams are tensioned, translating axially with a common constant velocity, ...
Critical Scales Govern the Mechanical Fragmentation Mechanisms of Biomolecular Assemblies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fragmentation mechanisms of peptide assemblies under shock deformation are studied using molecular dynamics simulations and are found to depend strongly on the relative magnitude of the shock front radius to the fibril ...
Efficiency Considerations for the Purely Tapered Interference Fit (TIF) Abutments Used in Dental Implants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A tapered interference fit provides a mechanically reliable retention mechanism for the implant-abutment interface in a dental implant. Understanding the mechanical properties of the tapered interface ...
Assessment of Improved Nonlinear Static Procedures in FEMA-440
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) presented in the FEMA-440 document are evaluated for nondegrading three- to nine-story reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame systems. Evaluations are based on peak single-degree-of-freedom ...
Reliability Analysis by Combining Higher-Order Unscented Transformation and Fourth-Moment Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, the fourth-moment method and the higher-order unscented transformation is combined to calculate the failure probability. The higher-order unscented transformation is used to efficiently estimate the first ...
Removal Kinetics of Olive-Mill Wastewater in a Batch-Operated Aerobic Bioreactor
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study involves the removal of the olive-mill wastewater (OMW), which is a significant pollutant, in a batch reactor under aerobic conditions by mixed cultures. It also includes comparison of different substrate ...
