RISMovement-Based Tandem Organization for Intelligent Intersection Management: Trajectory Planning for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractDedicated left-turning and through lanes at traditional signalized intersections often
result in a limited number of exit lanes available in each turning movement. In contrast,
vehicles can exit the intersection ...
Design and Principles of a Novel Linear Solar Concentrator With Asymmetric Parabolic Reflector and Independently Movable Receiver: Sensitivity Analysis of Optical Efficiency to Deviations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. We put forward a novel linear solar concentrator featuring an asymmetric parabolic reflector and an independently movable receiver, and conducts an initial exploration into the feasibility of this new concentrator ...
Large Rupture Strain FRP-Confined Concrete Columns of Different Sizes: Experiments and Stress–Strain Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Extensive experimental and theoretical studies of large rupture strain (LRS) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete columns have been conducted based on small-scale columns, mostly with a diameter of 150 mm. This ...
Discrete Time Sliding Mode Switching Control Scheme With Disturbance Observer and Its Application to Superheated Steam Temperature Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we have addressed a slidingmode switching control scheme with disturbance observer for a class of singleinput singleoutput (SISO) discrete switched nonlinear systems which suffer from uncertain parameters. ...
Nonlinear Analysis of a New Extended Lattice Model With Consideration of Multi Anticipation and Driver Reaction Delays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new extended lattice model of traffic flow is presented by taking into account both multianticipative behavior and the reactiontime delay of drivers. The linear stability theory and the nonlinear analysis method are ...
Cyclic Compressive Behavior of Concrete Confined with Large Rupture Strain FRP Composites

Effect of Welding Residual Stress on the Buckling Behavior of Storage Tanks Subjected to Harmonic Settlement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of welding residual stress on the buckling behavior of storage tanks subjected to the harmonic settlement was simulated using the shell-to-solid coupling method. In the numerical model of tanks coupled with the ...
Monotonic Stress–Strain Behavior of Steel Rebars Embedded in FRP-Confined Concrete Including Buckling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confining jackets offer an attractive solution for the seismic retrofit of RC columns. For the accurate prediction of strength and ductility of FRP-confined RC columns, it is necessary to ...
Neural Network Direct Adaptive Control Strategy for a Class of Switched Nonlinear Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the adaptive neural network (NN) switching control problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems. Radial basis function (RBF) NNs are utilized to approximate the unknown switching control law term ...
