Abstract: Because of their complex behavior under wind, earthquake, and moving loads, the dynamic response of cable‐stayed bridges requires special studies. Use of experimental procedures to confirm design assumptions and predict ...

Abstract: The design of an apparatus for determination of Joule-Thomson coefficients is presented. An axial flow porous plug is utilized and the downstream flow is so arranged that one concentric flow ...

Abstract: End milled surface texture is inhomogeneous and often exhibits complex lay patterns. An important contributing factor to these surface characteristics is the back-cutting effect. This effect causes ...

Abstract: In recent years, simulation tools have proven valuable for the prediction of machining state variables over a wide range of operating parameters. Such simulation packages, however, are seldom ...

Abstract: Continuous flow offers notable advantages over batch processing for analytical applications like gene expression profiling of biological material, which demands very high processing. The technology ...

Abstract: Following the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge due to an aeroelastic instability, it has been common practice to test cable-supported bridges in a wind tunnel to check the soundness of bridge designs with respect to ...
