Abstract: The objective of this study is suggesting a new method for gamma irradiating experiment using spent fuel elements (SFEs). An irradiation device was developed to contain the sample during the gamma irradiation process under ...

Abstract: This paper studies the radiological consequences resulting from withdrawal of nuclear fuel element (FE) from a core of open pool type reactor during normal operation. The FE withdrawal accident may be occurred due to human ...

Abstract: Brake squeal has been a challenging issue to overcome for the automotive sector. The phenomenon often underpins more serious mechanical issues leading to poor user satisfaction, compromised safety, and a negative impact ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for predicting the mobilized response of axially loaded piles in sands in the states of pre-liquefaction and post-liquefaction. The proposed procedure calculates shaft and skin resistance ...

Abstract: Extensive efforts are being exerted to develop various types of acoustic metamaterials to effectively control the flow of acoustical energy through these materials. However, all these efforts are ...

Abstract: In situ measurements of stresses and pore pressures on a model pile shaft, the Piezo‐Lateral Stress (PLS) cell, are combined with theoretical analyses to reconstruct the conditions of a large‐scale pile load test at a site ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model developed to predict the behavior of concentrically loaded cold-formed square hollow structural section (HSS) slender columns, strengthened with high-modulus carbon fiber reinforced ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the repair of artificially damaged steel–concrete composite beams repaired using adhesively bonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Eleven, 2 m long, ...

Abstract: Results from volume calculation of soils are a major input in heavy construction and earth‐moving operations. Traditional methods for volume calculation have been based on the application of the end‐area method or prismoidal ...
