Abstract: The creep behaviors of TA2 and R60702 at low and intermediate temperature were presented and discussed in this paper. Experimental results indicated that an apparent threshold stress was exhibited in the creep deformation ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and kurtosis criterion for the detection of defects in rolling element bearings. Some intrinsic mode functions ...

Abstract: Effect of temperature and chloride content on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of 304 stainless steel welded joints treated by ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) is investigated in this study. High tensile ...

Abstract: Four types of TA2 welded tubetotubesheet joints prepared by manual tungsten arc argonshielded welding technique are studied in this paper. The pullout tests and low cycle fatigue tests were performed to optimize welded ...

Abstract: In this paper, line- and ring-notched small punch test (SPT) specimens were studied; a three-dimensional (3D) model of a ring-notched SPT specimen was established using the contour integral method, and the validity of the ...

Abstract: Interdependent infrastructure systems consist of several sectors, including gas, power, transportation, and health systems, and are important in modern societies because they provide essential services for the continuous ...
