Abstract: A semiempirical approach to estimate liquefaction-induced lateral displacements using standard penetration test (SPT) or cone penetration test (CPT) data is presented. The approach combines available SPT- and CPT-based ...

Abstract: The problem of the enhanced axial contaminant dispersion by sinusoidal oscillation of fluid in a cylindrical pipe connected to reservoirs filled with contaminated groundwater involving different ...

Abstract: Fuel cells, as highly efficient and environment-friendly power sources, have attracted ever-increasing research and development in the past few decades. Mathematical modeling and simulation are ...

Abstract: Owing to their high thermal conductivities, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising for use in advanced thermal interface materials. While there has been much previous research on the properties ...

Abstract: The reliability of a project completion time projection (PCT) is of significant concern to project managers, because it profoundly affects how a project is executed. Traditionally, such reliability has been treated as a ...

Abstract: Long-distance gas pipelines in service inevitably are exposed to harsh conditions such as extreme temperature. It is also recognized that corrosion is one of most influential factors on the structural reliability and safety ...

Abstract: In order to determine the mode-I (opening mode) dynamic fracture toughness of a rock, cracked-straight-through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) specimens with strain gauges glued on the specimen’s surface were diametrically impacted ...
