Abstract: The design stress allowables for various loading conditions involving bending in Section III, Division 1 and Section VIII, Division 2 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are based on ...

Abstract: A new theory is developed to model the hysteresis relation between polarization and electric field of piezoceramics. An explicit formulation governing the hysteresis is obtained by using saturation ...

Abstract: he authors investigate the life cycle of a strong subtropical stratospheric intrusion event and propose a hypothesis through which might reduce the intensity of the Indian-summer-monsoon rainfall (ISMR) after the monsoon ...

Abstract: The effects of material variability on the mechanical response and failure of composites under high strain rate and impact loading are investigated in this paper. A previously developed strain rate–dependent, sectional ...

Abstract: This work investigates flow and heat transfer under an array of annular jets impinging on a heated moving surface. Numerical solutions of the full Navier–Stokes equation were attempted with a highly refined mesh. This study ...

Abstract: Thermodynamics, the science of energy interactions, governs the direction of processes found in nature. While the subject finds wide applications in science and technology, its connection to biological sciences and in ...

Abstract: A detailed ultrasonic cycle fatigue study has been presented for aluminum alloy 7075-T6 (AA7075-T6) under fully reversed tension-compression loading to investigate the geometric sensitivity, frequency effects, size effects, ...

Abstract: The need for safe and secure landfills for disposal of solid waste will always be present. As a groundwater pollution control mechanism, the use of some type of liner on these landfills is necessary, as in the absence of ...
