Abstract: The rock/bit-tooth interaction problem has been approximated previously by plasticity analysis of a wedge indenting a half-space. In the previous work the rock, under high confining pressure, was ...

Abstract: The accurate estimation of the long‐term shortening of the vertical members of tall concrete buildings is often an important issue in their design. Differences in the shortening of adjacent columns or between columns and ...

Abstract: The transient flow phenomenon in a pipeline accounts for the flow variations with time and space. The transient energy analysis (TEA) overlooks the process as it sums the energy of the entire pipe domain and reports it at ...

Abstract: Blockages in urban water supply systems are commonly formed from various complicated physical, chemical, and biological processes; thus, they usually constrict randomly and nonuniformly along their lengths. Although the ...

Abstract: Plastic/viscoelastic pipes such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes have been increasingly applied in fluid piping systems. The understanding of the hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: This paper studies bubble-entrained plume (BEP) behaviors in a crossflow and proposes a theoretical approach for predicting BEP trajectories and the separation points from the bubble swarm. When rising in a crossflow, the ...
