Abstract: A general failure criterion for fibrous anisotropic materials is developed in the paper. Since the strength of a lamina should depend on the lamina angle and be symmetric with respect to this angle, the strength of an ...

Abstract: The thickness of recast layers produced during electrical discharge machining (EDM) is an important process performance measure as it may indicate an extent of crack propagation in a machined ...

Abstract: We propose in this work a structure of semiconductor thin films combined with a one-dimensional metallic grating, which allows for selective improvement of thermal radiative absorptivity (also ...

Abstract: Sewage air at the inlet works of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, was simultaneously pumped through two pilot columns, one filled with an alkali‐impregnated carbon material, while the other was filled with a ...

Abstract: Generally, adhesive materials can be cured in a short time under high curing temperature. High curing temperature usually leads to an increase in cross-link density and a homologous increase ...

Abstract: A Timoshenko beam model is presented in this paper for the buckling of axially loaded multiwalled carbon nanotubes surrounded by an elastic medium. Unlike the Euler beam model, the Timoshenko beam model allows for the ...

Abstract: In rolling processes, flexible steel sheet is supported by rollers and is bound to produce structural vibration. This vibration can cause severe problems to surface finish and affect the quality ...

Abstract: The performance enhancement of absorbers is closely related to the investment costs of absorption cooling systems. In this paper, a new film-inverting design for plate falling film absorber is ...
