Abstract: The complexity of space missions has been steadily increasing as new missions are expected to be designed to fly under more and more stringent constraints. This paper shows the use of a new, simple methodology that is ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a new concept for balancing car ownership from both user demand and road network supply conditions. On the demand side, territory-wide and zonal car ownership is first estimated by an aggregate and ...

Abstract: As engineering surveying is highly concerned with its intensive involvement in the construction of roads and bridges, drainage systems, buildings, railways, and tunnels in civil engineering, the subject of engineering ...

Abstract: To evaluate and optimize new engineered wood products such as oriented strand lumber (OSL), it is necessary to investigate their mechanical properties and the influence of the manufacturing process on these mechanical ...

Abstract: The Jintegral resistance curve (or JR curve) is an important fracture property of materials and has gained broad applications in assessing the fracture behavior of structural components. Because the Jintegral concept was ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to investigate the division of the total shear stress into a friction loss and a form loss component for flows with ripples on the bed. Four different sizes of glass beads were used as bed material, ...

Abstract: A general velocity distribution consisting of a logarithmic profile plus a wake function has been used to investigate the effect of suspended sediment on flow resistance. From the experimental evidence that the wake constant ...
