Abstract: A variational boundary integral method is developed for the analysis of three-dimensional cracks of arbitrary geometry in general anisotropic elastic solids. The crack is modeled as a continuous ...

Abstract: The use of coal slurry instead of water in a coal log pipeline (CLP) is investigated for the first time. This investigation reveals significant differences and possible benefits by using coal ...

Abstract: In this study, the fluid (air) temperature field and the convective heat flux distribution on the rotor disk surface were measured and computed in a model rotor–stator disk cavity. Both ...

Abstract: This article presents a three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model for the plasma arc in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The velocity, pressure, temperature, electric potential, current density, ...

Abstract: Most transport models for short-term strategic planning are required to be calibrated with current planning parameters and updated traffic data. There are basically two steps involved in transport model calibration, namely, ...

Abstract: Aluminum is expected to gain popularity as material for the bodies of the next generation of lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles. However, its lower formability compared with that of steel ...

Abstract: During hot metal forming, the temperature variation and plastic deformation affect each other considerably. In the present investigation, ring rolling of hot steel is simulated by using a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a preliminary study about effects of ultrasonic vibration on machined surface and subsurface damages in rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM). The surface and subsurface damages ...
