RISImproving Efficiency of Normative Interventions by Characteristic-Based Selection of Households: An Agent-Based Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Energy demand is increasing globally, and the building sector accounts for more than a third of energy use in some countries. Thus, by means of normative interventions (NIs), the authorities have started investing in ...
Optical and Thermal Simulations of Photovoltaic Modules With and Without Sun Tracking System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The experimental method is extensively used to determine the temperature of a photovoltaic (PV) module at different hours of a day. In this method, the module temperature is measured using a temperature sensor mounted on ...
Synchronization of Quadratic Chaotic Systems Based on Simultaneous Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To synchronize quadratic chaotic systems, a synchronization scheme based on simultaneous estimation of nonlinear dynamics (SEND) is presented in this paper. To estimate quadratic terms, a compensator including Jacobian ...
New Geometric Design Approach to Reduce Vehicle’s Speed in Accident-Prone Downgrade Highways Using Dynamic Vehicle Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Steep downgrades are known as a part of mountain roads with a significant number of severe crashes. Generally, using speed limiters such as speed bumps and speed humps are considered the most effective (considering both ...
Enhancing Road Asset Management with CityGML Enriched by Public Inputs: A Comprehensive Approach to Pothole Repair Prioritization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractInfrastructure asset management involves navigating complex sociotechnical challenges,
requiring not only the technical assessment of physical assets but also the timely
consideration of end-user satisfaction. This ...
Determining Potential Areas for Flood Inundation Using Remote Sensing and Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThis study aims to analyze the morphological indices of river channels in Shiraz,
located in southwestern Iran, through the examination of morphological parameters
and the application of remote-sensing (RS) indices ...
Dynamic Restoration Processes in High-Mn TWIP Steels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) phenomenon is established as the most effective mechanism to enhance the formability of the advanced high-Mn (15–30 wt %) austenitic steels (known as TWIP ...
High Temperature Flow Behavior and Microstructure of Al Cu/Mg2Si Metal Matrix Composite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work deals with the high temperature flow behavior and the microstructure of the AlCu/Mg2Si metal matrix composite. Toward this end, a set of hot compression tests was performed in a wide range of temperature ...
