Abstract: The natural granite includes various hard and brittle minerals with different material behaviors. In this paper, the discrete distribution parameters of microhardness and microbrittleness are ...

Abstract: Ecological water was stolen by industrial and domestic water consumption in the Weihe River, which led to a disquieting decline in riverine ecologic functioning. Based on river regionalization and typical years of hydrologic ...

Abstract: A mathematical model and a numerical procedure are presented for analyzing the response of nonuniform piles to vertical vibrations. The methodology presented involves numerical integration of the governing differential ...

Abstract: Walsh et al. (1994) reported measurements of erosion of carbon steel by fly ash and unburned char particles in the convective heat transfer section of an industrial boiler cofiring coal–water ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model for electrical carbon fiber contacts. In the model, a statistically distributed fiber length was considered at contact surfaces. A technique of dealing with this ...
