Abstract: A new alltime model is developed to predict transient laminar forced convection heat transfer inside a circular tube under arbitrary timedependent heat flux. Slug flow (SF) condition is assumed for the velocity profile ...

Abstract: This study proposes a solution framework for operational analysis and financial assessment of transit services that considers the passenger behavior and the elasticity of transit demand to service characteristics. The ...

Abstract: This study establishes a numerical investigation of the optimal distribution of a limited amount of high thermal conductivity material to enhance the heat removal from 3D integrated circuits, IC. The structure of the heat ...

Abstract: This article presents the observed cyclic responses of three types of metal hysteretic, axial dissipative devices (typically used with dissipative controlled rocking bridge piers) under varying degrees of corrosion. ...

Abstract: An analytical model is proposed to predict the stress–strain relationship of confined concrete subjected to reinforcement corrosion. The stress–strain graph of confined concrete with corroded reinforcement was predicted ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate both residual capacity and the damage of the concrete material in previously damaged RC columns. Three circular columns, each caged to provide low, medium, and high ...
