Abstract: In this paper, a profile design of surface texture was applied for improving the tribological performance of piston ring–cylinder pair. The design of texture pattern was implemented by numerous textures of different depths ...

Abstract: Reliability, resilience, and vulnerability are the most commonly used performance criteria for water supply planning and management. However, there is lack of understanding of the relationships among these criteria. This ...

Abstract: The precision in forming complex double-walled hollow turbine blades significantly influences their cooling efficiency, making the selection of appropriate casting process parameters critical for achieving fine-casting ...

Abstract: Corrosion has been recognized as one of the predominant causes of degradation in aging RC bridge columns. This problem may significantly affect flexural and shear capacities and even alter failure modes of corroded columns. ...

Abstract: Applying foamed warm-mix asphalt (FWA) containing recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) binder in pavement construction technology is an energy-saving and resource-recycling approach. However, the effectiveness of blended binders ...

Abstract: This study investigates rheological effects of blood on steady flows in a nonplanar distal end-to-side anastomosis. The shear-thinning behavior of blood is depicted by a Carreau–Yasuda model and ...

Abstract: Cascade reservoirs have interrupted the distribution and transportation of nutrients, which brings environmental and ecological problems. However, the current ecological operation methods focusing on the hydrologic regime ...
