Abstract: This study utilizes a face-centered central composite response surface design of experiments to determine the effects of thread pitch when friction stir welding high-density polyethylene. The tool pin thread pitch, along ...

Abstract: The bistable snapthrough behavior of a compressed beam is modeled and measured experimentally as its supporting surface is bent through positive and negative curvatures. When the supporting angle of the beam exceeds a ...

Abstract: A nonreactive Lagrangian atmospheric diffusion model is used for the simulation of SO2 concentration around the As Pontes 1400-MW power plant located in northwestern Spain. This diffusion model has two kinds of input: 1) ...
