Abstract: Short fiber reinforced cement composites with large volumes of perlite have been investigated for their resistance to high temperature exposures. The composites were manufactured by the extrusion technique. The extruded ...

Abstract: A heat transfer model for grinding has been developed based on the finite difference method (FDM). The proposed model can solve transient heat transfer problems in grinding, and has the ...

Abstract: This note proposes an efficient and cost-effective construction method for longitudinally supported large span latticed shell structures, commonly used for storages of existing stockpiles such as coal, stones, etc. The ...

Abstract: An optimal model is developed for determining the well sites and their pumping rates from the upper aquifer and lower aquifer in a two-aquifer system, which is designed to prevent the water quality in lower aquifer from ...

Abstract: This note proposes a cost-effective construction method for large span cylindrical latticed shell structures. The method converts a latticed shell into a six-bar linkage, allowing the major part of the assembling work to ...

Abstract: A new thermocouple fixation method for grinding temperature measurement is presented. Unlike the conventional method using a welded thermocouple, this new method uses epoxy for affixing the ...

Abstract: The potential of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) as a micromass sensor is explored. A nonlocal Timoshenko beam carrying a micromass at the free end of the inner tube is used to analyze ...
