Abstract: In the United States, several states have adopted the Micro-Deval test (MDT) method for evaluating degradation characteristics of aggregates used in road construction. This paper compares MDT aggregate degradation data to ...

Abstract: The response spectrum method of analysis for suspension bridges subjected to multicomponent, partially correlated stationary ground motion is presented. The analysis is based on the relationship between the power spectral ...

Abstract: The knowledge of residual stresses introduced in the tubes of heat exchangers during their expansion in the tubesheet holes is important because of their effect on the structural integrity of ...

Abstract: Particle accelerator based μ-PIXE and μ-RBS techniques along with optical microscopy, SEM and EDS were employed to examine the worn faces of uncoated tungsten carbide inserts used for cutting ...

Abstract: Because of their importance for the integrity of heat exchangers, the strength of tube-to-tubesheet joints, and particularly their axial strength, is of special interest. A finite element model ...

Abstract: An interaction analysis has been conducted to study the effects of a local loss of support beneath the beam footing of a two‐bay plane frame. The results of the study indicate that the magnitude of increase in the bending ...

Abstract: An experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of roller expansion of heat exchanger tubes in enlarged tubesheet holes on joint strength, tube wall reduction (i.e., thinning), ...
