Abstract: Typical vertical distributions of the failure pressure in an ice sheet are presented. The distributions, derived for intermediate strain rates, are a function of many parameters, namely, the ...

Abstract: A closed-form algebraic expression of the general relationship between film thickness and time during thermal oxidation as attained by Deal and Grove for planar surfaces has remained elusive for surfaces with curvature. ...

Abstract: A baseline constant-parameters non-dimensional cylindrical oxidation model was first revisited, normalizing oxide thickness to oxidant diffusivity/reaction rate ratio instead of the original cylinder radius, allowing this ...

Abstract: A glued-in rod, which combines timber, a metal rod, and structural adhesive, is a type of connection whose fire performance is complicated to define since the rod depends on the adhesive’s thermomechanical properties. The ...

Abstract: Wear rates of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled with micrometerand nanometersized particles of copper, silicon nitride, and خ³phase alumina were measured under dry sliding conditions using a pinonplate tribometer. In ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of experiments to study the influence of diameter on the loading of a single rigid cylinder subjected to air-water cross-flow. Five rigid cylinders ...

Abstract: A parameterization is described for low-level clouds that are characteristic of the Arctic during winter. This parameterization simulates the activation of aerosols, the aggregation/coalescence, and the gravitational ...

Abstract: In support to the development of the Northern Aerosol Regional Climate Model, a single column model with explicit aerosol and cloud microphysics is described. It is designed specifically to investigate cloud?aerosol ...

Abstract: A model for the steady-state wear behavior of polymer composite materials, including the effects of preferential load support by and surface accumulation of wear-resistant filler particles, is ...
