RISA Buoyancy Flux-Driven Cyclonic Gyre in the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The generation mechanism for a wintertime cyclonic gyre in the western Labrador Sea, first observed by Clarke and Gascard, is studied by using simple theoretical models. It is shown that atmospheric cooling, which occurs ...
Pumpless Fuel Supply Using Pressurized Fuel Regulated by Autonomous Flow-Rate Regulation Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A pumpless fuel supply using pressurized fuel with autonomous flow regulation valves is presented. Since micropumps and their control circuitry consume a portion of the electrical power generated ...
Enhanced Performance of Sulfonated GO in SPEEK Proton-Exchange Membrane for Microbial Fuel-Cell Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sulfonated graphene oxide (SGO) was prepared using sulfuric acid and used as a nanofiller at various concentrations in self-fabricated sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK) to produce nanocomposite proton-exchange membranes ...
Wedge Failure Analysis of Soil Resistance on Laterally Loaded Piles in Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fundamental study of pile-soil systems subjected to lateral loads in clay soil was conducted by using experimental tests and a lateral load-transfer approach. The emphasis was on an improved wedge failure model developed ...
Experimental Investigation of Installation and Pullout of Dynamically Penetrating Anchors in Clay and Silt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the results from a series of model tests undertaken to provide insight into the behavior of torpedo anchors during dynamic installation and pullout in lightly overconsolidated kaolin clay and calcareous ...
Relationship between Earth Pressure and Thermally Induced Movement of Integral Abutments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Movements and lateral earth pressure of integral abutment bridges are mainly affected by seasonal thermal variations. To investigate this aspect, a test bridge was constructed with integral abutments as stub type abutments ...
Antibacterial and Adsorption Properties of Sulfonated GO-PVDF Nanocomposite Ultrafiltration Membranes for Environmental Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The application of nanocomposite materials in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) is attractive because of their great potential to enhance the filtration performance and antifouling. This study modified polyvinylidene fluoride ...
Effects of Inclusions and Microstructures on Impact Energy of High Heat-Input Submerged-Arc-Weld Metals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Submerged-arc-weld metal made with variations of heat-input and consumables were examined to study the inclusions and their effects on the Charpy impact energy of the weld metal as a measure ...
Installation and Monotonic Pullout of a Suction Caisson Anchor in Calcareous Silt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Enhanced Bonding by Applied Current in Cu-to-Cu Joints Fabricated Using 20 μm Cu Microbumps
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of applied current in enhancing bonding was studied in Cu-to-Cu direct bonding using Cu microbumps. A daisy-chain structure of electroplated Cu microbumps (20 μm × 20 μm) was fabricated on Si wafer. Cu-to-Cu ...
