RISLife Cycle Cost Assessment of Seismically Base Isolated Large Tanks in Liquefied Natural Gas Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new methodology is being introduced to address the lifecycle cost (LCC) of baseisolated large liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks. The relationship between LCC and seismic fortification intensity was established to evaluate ...
Prediction of Asphalt Pavement Responses from FWD Surface Deflections Using Soft Computing Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study predicts asphalt pavement responses from surface deflections under falling weight deflectometer (FWD) loading using soft computing methods. Finite-element (FE) models are developed and validated considering ...
Investigation of Pore Pressure in Bonded Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractBonded concrete overlays of asphalt (BCOA) are used for pavement rehabilitation with
extended service life. However, trapped moisture infiltrated from concrete joints
can generate pore pressure at the concrete–asphalt ...
Development of Coupled Program fast-simdyn and Study of Non-Linear Hydrodynamics, Coupled With Negative Damping and Aerodynamics of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Non-linear hydrostatic and wave forces on floating structures are very important during large amplitude waves. The computer program simdyn is a blended time domain program developed by Marine Dynamics Laboratory at TAMU ...
Analysis of the Connection between Aerodynamic Force, Deformation, Flow, and Structure of Wind Turbine Blades Using Dynamic Mode Decomposition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractAn aeroelastic coupling method based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equation
and geometrically extract beam theory is developed for wind turbine blades. Using
dynamic mode decomposition, the unsteady flow ...
Self-Supervised Point Cloud Mining for Surface Anomaly Detection in Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. With rapid advances in three-dimensional (3D) metrology, point cloud data are increasingly available for surface quality inspection in additive manufacturing (AM). Compared to images, point clouds capture richer ...
Numerical Simulations of Shelterbelt Effects on Wind Direction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A neutral boundary layer nonhydrostatic numerical model is used to determine the characteristics of shelterbelt effects on mean wind direction and to study the processing causing wind rotation when air passes through a ...
Model-Simulated Influences of Shelterbelt Shape on Wind-Sheltering Efficiency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors report results of a numerical model used to simulate wind and turbulence fields for porous, living shelterbelts with seven different cross-sectional shapes. The simulations are consistent with results of Woodruff ...
Tungsten Nanowire Metamaterials as Selective Solar Thermal Absorbers by Excitation of Magnetic Polaritons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present study focuses on nanowire-based metamaterials selective solar absorbers. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation is employed for numerically designing a broadband solar absorber made of lossy tungsten ...
