Abstract: An anisotropic rotationally inhomogeneous wedge bent by either a concentrated couple applied at the tip (Carothers problem) or uniform surface loadings (Levy problem) is considered. The existence ...

Abstract: This second part of a two-part paper is concerned with the measurement of static pressure distribution on the retropatellar surface. The study has been performed in a loading apparatus designed ...

Abstract: Thirty‐five engineers participated in a study on the potential impact of electronic mail on their work situation. The methodology was designed to collect information from the user group. More specifically, comments were ...

Abstract: Numerical investigation of the oscillatory instability of convective flows in laterally heated rectangular cavities is presented. Cavities with no-slip isothermal vertical boundaries, no-slip adiabatic ...

Abstract: To evaluate an arbitrary multiaxial stress state, the concept of the equivalent stress can be used. Because of its simplicity and clarity, this concept is now widely used in the component design. Many strength criteria ...

Abstract: This study presents a comparison between different testing procedures to determine the tensile strength of reactive powder concrete (RPC). The tensile strength test methods include a direct tensile test and two indirect ...

Abstract: Interactions between the oscillations of piezoceramic transducer and the mechanism of its excitation—the generator of the electric current of limited power-supply—are analyzed in this paper. In ...

Abstract: Smoke from the 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California blanketed a large part of the region for 2 weeks, creating poor air quality in the “unhealthy” range for millions of people. The NOAA Global System Laboratory’s HRRR-Smoke ...
