Static and dynamic analyses for the exergetic, exergoeconomic and environmental assessment of a high-performance building
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2018)
This paper presents an exergetic, exergoeconomic and environmental assessment of an existing high-performance building using both static and dynamic analyses. The IEA ECBCS framework is adopted for exergy analysis, whereas ...
Porous materials
(Elsevier, 2018)
Natural gas has received significant attention as a cleaner energy source alternative to gasoline. Natural gas consists of mainly methane (CH4); therefore, efficient storage of CH4 is essential to utilize natural gas. ...
Implications of site specific response analysis
(Springer, 2018)
Definition of design earthquake characteristics, more specifically uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum, on the ground surface is the primary component for performance based design of structures and assessment of ...
Flow visualization and LES simulations inside a chevron type plate heat exchanger
(Begell House Inc., 2018)
An up-scaled model of a single channel of CPHE was used under dynamically similar conditions for the experiments. In experiments, pressure drop measurements and flow visualizations were conducted with aluminum flitter and ...
Free simulation software and library
(Springer, 2018-01-01)
With the advent of powerful computation technologies and efficient algorithms, simulators became an important tool in most engineering areas. The field of humanoid robotics is no exception; there have been numerous simulation ...
Towards a testing framework with visual feedback for actor-based systems
(IEEE, 2018-08-02)
We introduce a prototype testing framework as an extension of JUnit for testing actor-based systems. Our framework runs a given JUnit test in various schedules and records the execution trace for each run. In case a failure ...
Improving the safety of medical robotic systems
(IEEE, 2018-10-09)
The significance of the robots in the medical field have been increasing rapidly. Humans and robots working together increases the strengths and decreases the limitations of surgical operations. Human life makes safety the ...
Effect of flexural demands in the leaner columns on the column buckling strength
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2018)
Leaner columns of steel frames are typically designed for axial load only and they are assumed not to contribute to the lateral stiffness of the system; however, a recent study revealed that under seismic loading leaner ...
Determination of the critical reynolds number for flow over symmetric NACA airfoils
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2018)
The determination of the critical Reynolds number is of practical importance in many engineering applications, particularly in determining the aerodynamic characteristics of air vehicles. In this study, we numerically ...
Visible light communication channel modeling for underwater environments with blocking and shadowing
(IEEE, 2018)
In this paper, we present a comprehensive channel modeling and characterization study for underwater visible light communications. Our study is based on the advanced ray tracing, which allows for an accurate description ...
