Abstract: The objective of this study was to find the optimum process variables for minimizing the amount of air entrapped within the shot sleeve during the slow shot phase of the injection process. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a procedure to estimate runway overrun risks of landing aircraft under different combinations of operating factors, including aircraft landing weight, landing speed, landing location, pavement skid ...

Abstract: Thermal-elastic analyses of dissimilar metal transition weld joints of a 24″ sodium piping system were performed. This piping system is for Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor application, operating ...

Abstract: Experiment evidence and observations have shown that the DNB oscillation phenomena can best be characterized by water rivulets motion with temperature variation in the circumferential direction. ...

Abstract: Undercutting, primarily considered due to fluvial mechanisms, has been reported to have a major impact on slope failure. Predicting bank collapse specifically due to seepage erosion undercutting by particle mobilization ...

Abstract: The Green-Ampt method is a physically based model for partitioning rainfall into surface runoff and infiltration. This method is widely used in infiltration practice because of its simplicity and the ease of obtaining the ...

Abstract: Pavement grooving is an accepted remedial measure to improve skid resistance and reduce crash rates on horizontal curves. However, besides experience-based guidelines, currently no mechanistic procedure is available for ...

Abstract: We document and analyze incidents of liquefaction-induced lateral ground deformation at five sites located in the near-fault region of the 1999 Chi-Chi Taiwan earthquake. Each of the lateral spreads involved cyclic mobility ...

Abstract: Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) have an inherent value because of nonferrous metal copper and noble metals. From the viewpoint of resource recycling and environmental protection, it is significant to recover metal ...

Abstract: A linear cascade experiment was conducted to investigate transonic and low supersonic flow losses of two nozzle blades for the steam turbines. In the experiment, flow incidences were changed ...
