Abstract: An analytical procedure is presented for the time‐dependent analysis of a partially prestressed concrete cross section subjected to an increasing load history, The load history is such that cracking of the cross section ...

Abstract: Silicon is the primary semiconductor material used to fabricate microchips. The quality of microchips depends directly on the quality of starting silicon wafers. A series of processes are required ...

Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of four die-strength testing configurations using finite element analysis. The simulation indicates that ring-on-ring configuration is the best because it generates ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of direct injection (DI) heavy-duty diesel engine combustion over the entire engine operating range were conducted using the KIVA code, with modifications to the spray, ...

Abstract: Advanced ceramics have found a variety of engineering applications, thanks to their superior properties (such as high hardness and strength at elevated temperatures; chemical inertness; high wear ...
