Abstract: There have been a number of models developed to provide the optimum tool replacement schedule for a multi-tool set-up. However, most of these models are quite complex and are geared to yield ...

Abstract: Thermal conductivity equations for the suspension of nanoparticles (nanofluids) have been derived from the kinetic theory of particles under relaxation time approximations. These equations, which ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the safe operation, dynamic characteristics and stability of oil and gas submarine pipelines, the natural characteristics of a pipe span under elastic supporting conditions were studied. The pipe ...

Abstract: Similar to mechanical forces that can induce profound biological effects, magnetic fields can have a broad range of implications to biological systems, from magnetoreception that allows an organism to detect a magnetic ...

Abstract: A real-time ultrasound-based system for controlling robotic weld quality by monitoring the weld pool is presented. The weld penetration depth is one of the most important geometric parameters ...

Abstract: Various fracture criteria, based on different assumptions and different mechanical models, have been proposed in the past to predict ductile fracture. The objective of this study is to assess ...

Abstract: Because the problem of prediction in ungauged basins (PUB) has become a central theme of hydrological research, there is a clear need to have an effective and efficient method that can help to transfer information from ...

Abstract: One-dimensional (1D) hydrodynamic models based on the Saint-Venant equations (the SVN model) have been extensively used for flow simulation in tidal rivers. In rivers with significant tidal effects, the inconsistencies ...

Abstract: he NCEP?NCAR reanalysis, NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40), and interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) products are evaluated with sounding observations from an enhanced ...
