RISDevelopment of Nondestructive Examination Acceptance Criteria for Shallow Partial Penetration Welds in a Conceptual Used Nuclear Fuel Container
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. The used fuel container (UFC) is a metal container for long-term management (i.e., disposal) of used nuclear fuel in a deep geological repository. The UFC employs a nonstandard closure weld joint with a shallow ...
Scaling Effect of Dry Adhesion for Microfibrils and Transition Size to Flaw Insensitivity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanics of detachment (e.g., a cylindrical fibril separating from a dissimilar substrate) has been treated in the perspectives of contact mechanics and fracture mechanics theory along with numerical simulations, but ...
Biomechanical Evaluation of an Adaptive-Motion Pedicle Screw Fixation System: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid fixation is mostly used in thoracolumbar spine surgery, which restricts the thoracolumbar spine segments moving and is not conducive to postoperative rehabilitation. We developed an adaptive-motion pedicle screw and ...
Neural Network Prediction of Reciprocating Friction for X-Type Seals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. X-type sealing rings are widely used in sealing systems. They operate in complex environments and play a crucial role in maintaining the safe operation of the entire mechanical system. Nevertheless, the prediction ...
Seismic Fragility Analysis for Steel Staggered Truss Framing Structure Based on L-Moments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractSeismic fragility analysis of steel staggered truss framing (SSTF) structures is carried
out in this study. Instead of artificially assuming certain distributions for seismic
demand and capacity models as in general ...
Structure Optimization and Performance Evaluation of Downhole Oil–Water Separation Tools: A Novel Hydrocyclone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the principle of cyclone separation and 3D printing technology, a novel variable pitch hydrocyclone structure was proposed for the axial flow hydrocyclone separators of oil wells. The structural parameters of this ...
A Design Strategy for Mushroom-Shaped Microfibrils With Optimized Dry Adhesion: Experiments and Finite Element Analyses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Enhanced dry adhesion of micropatterned polymeric surfaces has been frequently demonstrated. Among the design parameters, the cap geometry plays an important role to improve their performance. In this study, we combined ...
Probability Sensitivity Estimation with Respect to Distribution Parameters via the Method of Moments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe method of moments (MoM) has been widely applied for reliability analysis, demonstrating
both efficiency and accuracy for nonlinear and small failure probability problems.
This contribution presents a method for ...
Mesoscopic Insights Into Low-Density Lipoprotein Transport: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. This study employs dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) to investigate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transport across the endothelium under varying conditions of endothelial leakiness size, LDL concentration, and ...
