Abstract: The trend toward offshore oilfield development schemes which utilize relatively long, large diameter, multiphase flowlines has resulted in a need for better design techniques for such systems. ...

Abstract: Over the past 30 years, many structural designs have included explicit consideration of major seismic events. The vast majority of these structures were designed so that significant inelastic deformations would be required ...

Abstract: The Sheffield Brick and Tile Company produced a series of structural tile units that were used to construct floor and roof decks. The tiles were used as integral components in composite concrete, tile, and reinforcing bar ...

Abstract: A companion paper by Chang and Hills, 1992, describes the stress distribution in a soil surface during water droplet impact according to a numerical simulation model. This project was undertaken to relate field data to the ...

Abstract: The water infiltration rate during sprinkle irrigation is known to decrease due to the impact effects of water droplets on soil‐surface structure. In this paper, a numerical simulation model that employs full three‐dimensional ...

Abstract: The optimization of heat transfer between fluid and metal plays a crucial role in gas turbine design. An accurate prediction of temperature for each metal component can help to minimize the ...

Abstract: Transformations of both dependent and independent variables are employed to investigate the linearization of Taylor’s tool-life equation. This exploratory study indicates that a logarithmic ...

Abstract: Solids transport in multiphase systems falls under the umbrella of “flow assurance.” Unlike issues such as waxes and hydrates, solids transport has received relatively little attention to date. ...
