Abstract: Recently, various ideas on underground development have been proposed and associated technical problems have been studied. One of the issues of concern is the prediction of the long-term behavior ...

Abstract: An attempt is made here to increase the output of a Savonius rotor by using a flow deflecting plate. When the deflecting plate is located at the optimum position, the rotor power increases ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional stress distributions in orthotopic composite beam under 4-point flexure are analyzed by replacing the concentrated load by distributing pressure in the vicinity of loading nose ...

Abstract: The surface roughening phenomenon of an aluminum foil is utilized as the measure of stress measurements under variable amplitude stressing and fundamental characteristics of the evolution of the ...

Abstract: The femoral head deteriorates in osteonecrosis. As a consequence of that, the cortical shell of the femoral head can buckle into the cancellous bone supporting it. In order to examine the ...
