Abstract: It has long been argued about which effect, among the effects of strain hardening, strain-rate hardening, and temperature softening, is predominant in governing the material flow stress in ...

Abstract: Two patterns of chip curl, namely up- and side-curl, have been widely recognized in machining operations. This paper presents the third pattern of chip curl that is called lateral-curl. The ...

Abstract: This paper newly develops a method for the damage severity estimate for lattice structures based on the employment of the substructure potential energy (SPE). While all existing damage severity ...

Abstract: In this paper, the flow and mass transfer of a twodimensional unsteady stagnationpoint flow over a moving wall, considering the coupled blowing effect from mass transfer, is studied. Similarity equations are derived and ...

Abstract: Increasing the power generation and reducing the sediment deposition in a reservoir are two contradictory and incommensurable objectives. Hence, these two operational objectives rarely are considered simultaneously in ...

Abstract: There are several commercially available traffic simulation packages that are able to model the full range of interchange ramp terminals. Each of these packages has pros and cons for simulating various types of interchanges ...

Abstract: This research develops a methodology and a corresponding implementation algorithm to provide optimal signal control of diamond interchanges in response to real-time traffic fluctuations. The problem is formulated as to ...
