Abstract: Despite the potential of high-consequence events, rarity of earthquake occurrences in moderate seismic zones and a misconstrued perception of risk has often led to a delayed onset of seismic detailing practices for highway ...

Abstract: L. A. Pars (1964, A Treatise on Analytical Dynamics, Heinemann, London) has shown in his comprehensive treatise that acceleration dependent forces are not admissible in Newtonian mechanics. More ...

Abstract: Moisture stresses in a long hollow hygroscopic cylindrically aeolotropic circular cylinder in a state of plane strain are determined mathematically in infinite trigonometric series form. The ...

Abstract: Recycling of waste material is one of the effective solutions of its disposal problem. Fly ash produced by coal-based thermal power plants and phosphogypsum (PG) produced by fertilizer plants producing phosphoric acid as ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a novel solid-phase methane fermentation process involving acidic bioleachate production from an organic bed and biomethanation of the bed-liquefaction products ...

Abstract: High porosity open-cell metal foam is considered to be an attractive choice for compact heat exchanger applications because of its high area density and superior thermal performance. A systematic ...

Abstract: Forced convection heat transfer in high porosity metal foam, either attached to an isothermal surface or confined between two isothermal plates, has been analyzed, assuming a repetitive simple ...

Abstract: The objectives of this research are to study the relative efficacies of two‐phase and single‐stage, high‐rate anaerobic sludge digestion at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures at several levels of hydraulic residence ...

Abstract: Traditionally, the design of welded structural components subjected to repeated loading been carried out using
