RISEffect of Ultra-Thin Liquid Lubricant Films on Dynamics of Nano-Spacing Flying Head Sliders in Hard Disk Drives
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the effect of ultra-thin liquid lubricant films on air bearing dynamics and flyability of nano-spacing flying head sliders in hard disk drives. The dynamics of a slider ...
Diagnosis of Rolling Bearing by Measuring Time Interval of AE Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We have developed a new method for measuring time intervals of Acoustic Emission (AE) generation for diagnosis of a radial rolling bearing. The method makes the AE signal itself a trigger of ...
Inelastic Force-Deformation Response of Joint Shear Panels in Beam-Column Moment Connections to Concrete-Filled Tubes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the design of beam-to-column subassemblies in concrete-filled steel tubular column systems, a design formula established by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) is applied. However, in the current AIJ standard, ...
Coastal Storms of the Eastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Storms resulting in damage to the East Coast of the United States over the past 42 years have been classified into eight different synoptic situations: hurricanes; wave developments well east of the southeast coast or in ...
Storm Damage Hazard Along the East Coast of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Study of the frequency of damaging storms along the east coast of the United States during the past 40 years has revealed a significant increase in the past decade. Reasons for this increase are analyzed. It is concluded ...
Representation of Design Object Based on the Functional Evolution Process Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One of the crucial issues for developing computer aided conceptual design system is representation of functions which represent designers’ intention. Representing functions is also crucial not ...
“Smart” Base Isolation Strategies Employing Magnetorheological Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the most successful means of protecting structures against severe seismic events is base isolation. However, optimal design of base isolation systems depends on the magnitude of the design level earthquake that is ...
Precautions at Fukushima That Would Have Suppressed the Accident Severity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Great East Japan Earthquake on Mar. 11, 2011 triggered huge tsunami waves that attacked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (Fukushima-1). Units 1, 3, and 4 had hydrogen explosions. Units 1–3 had core meltdowns and ...
Modeling and Parametric Study of Torque in Open Clutch Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The relative motion of the friction and separator plates in wet clutches during the disengaged mode causes viscous shear stresses in the fluid passing through the 100microns gap. This results ...
An Active Microvibration Isolation System for Hi-tech Manufacturing Facilities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an active microvibration isolation system using voice-coil linear motors, and pneumatic and piezoelectric actuators. This system is designed to reduce microvibration of the six ...
