Abstract: The multifarious calamities upon nuclear containment structures (NCS) and insufficient reliability-based factors inspired the current study for the investigation of hard missile impact. Available codes for design and ...

Abstract: The flexural analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced doubly curved singly ruled composite truncated cone is studied. The mathematical model contains the expansion of Taylor’s series up to third ...

Abstract: A new approach that links genetic algorithm (GA) as an optimization tool with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS)-based reliability program is presented for reliability-constrained optimal design of water treatment plant (WTP). ...

Abstract: An approach that links a Monte-Carlo simulation based reliability program with the water treatment process behavior and performance model is presented for uncertainty analysis of the conventional water treatment plant (WTP) ...

Abstract: Moisture damage resistance assessment in asphalt mixtures traditionally relies on the tensile strength ratio (TSR) method, which may not capture the complex behavior of asphalt under moisture ingress. This study proposes ...

Abstract: The impact of placing curved obstacles on natural convection in enclosures with differentially heated side walls is analyzed in the current study using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). A method to choose characteristic ...

Abstract: Studies on scour in the wake region of piers in cohesive sediments containing gravel were not reported in literature, to the best of our knowledge. Results from the laboratory experiments based study on the process of wake ...

Abstract: An efficient failure analysis of laminated composite and sandwich cylindrical shell is done for the first time using an efficient

Abstract: A dispersant is almost an unavoidable additive in engine oils since it helps to keep the carbonaceous particles in a suspended form. Dispersants can be multifunctional and can therefore interfere with the functions of other ...

Abstract: This study involves the effect of adiabatic obstacles on two-dimensional natural convection in a square enclosure using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The enclosure embodies square-shaped adiabatic obstacles with one, ...
