RISCompact Arrangements of Cable-Pulley Type Zero-Free-Length Springs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A methodology to develop springs with zero-free-length (ZFL) characteristics is presented, and the configurations for placing the springs precisely on the manipulators are introduced. A spring–string arrangement installed ...
Entrainment and Transport in Idealized Three-Dimensional Gravity Current Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A purely z-coordinate Dietrich/Center for Air Sea Technology (DieCAST) ocean model is applied to the Dynamics of Overflow Mixing and Entrainment (DOME) idealized bottom density current problem that is patterned after the ...
An Iterative Method Based on a 3-DOF Model for Optimal Seismic Design of Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As a key infrastructure in the lifeline system, the safety of the Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plants (CFTPPs) under earthquake loading is not properly considered since a systematic optimization method for seismic design of ...
Influence of Size and Shape of Defects on Deformation Concentration and Brittle Fracture of Perforated Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study investigates how different shapes and sizes of defects affect the fracture of a typical brittle material. The strain distribution and the fracture strength of perforated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates with ...

Abstract: The study investigates how different shapes and sizes of defects affect the fracture of a typical brittle material. The strain distribution and the fracture strength of perforated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates with ...
Trajectory Optimization Using Analytical Target Cascading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the previous reports, analytical target cascading (ATC) is generally applied to product optimization. In this paper, the application area of ATC is expanded to trajectory optimization. Direct collocation method is ...
Insight into Complex Rheological Behavior of Warm-Mix Rubberized Asphalt from the Microinteraction between Asphalt Phase and Rubber Phase
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractWarm-mix crumb rubberized asphalt is an increasingly popular eco-friendly pavement
material, but its complex rheological properties limit large-scale application. Investigating
the microscale interactions among ...
A Nonorthogonal Elastoplastic Model for Overconsolidated Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The constitutive model in geotechnical engineering plays a critical role, driving the need for ongoing research and improvement. In this study, by utilizing a single yield curve and only one hardening parameter, a nonorthogonal ...
Study of the Tractive Performance of a Deep-Sea Mining Vehicle Based on the Soil Failure Mode
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deep-sea mining vehicles (DSMVs) generate tremendous traction and provide excellent maneuverability, making them the preferred choice for deep-sea mining. The source of this immense traction lies in the shear forces generated ...
Modeling Air–Land–Sea Interactions Using the Integrated Regional Model System in Monterey Bay, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he air?land?sea interaction in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, California, is simulated and investigated using a new Integrated Regional Model System (I-RMS). This new model realistically resolves coastal processes and ...
