Abstract: Velocity distributions in supercritical open-channel flows over stepped cavities have traditionally been described using a power-law approach or theoretical solutions of plane mixing layers. These approaches were found to ...

Abstract: The machining of metals presents a unique tribological situation in which atomically clean, metallic surfaces are cleaved from the interior of the workpiece and maintained in a condition of ...

Abstract: The trend towards increased machining automation improves plant utilization by reducing the nonmachining component of the production cycle and places a premium on reducing machining time. Improved ...

Abstract: Grass-lined spillways are flow conveyance structures with environmental benefits. The stability of such spillways has been typically assessed considering soil erosion, but the design of grass-lined spillways based on ...

Abstract: Free-surface aeration is a key characteristic of high-velocity flows on spillways. Despite their common use as conveyance structures, there is a research gap in the understanding of flows across spillways with small invert ...

Abstract: In recent years, the research interest in the application of remote sensing technology to highly aerated flows has been increasing because this technology holds the ultimate promise to enable safe and accurate measurements ...

Abstract: The rupture behavior of 20 percent cold-worked type 316 stainless steel fast reactor fuel cladding, subjected to thermal transients typical of hypothetical accident conditions, is studied by ...

Abstract: The mechanism controlling the crater wear of single phase carbide cutting tool materials in the high speed cutting of steel has been identified. A simple model has been developed to describe ...

Abstract: The deburring process of manufactured parts has been investigated theoretically and experimentally as a frequency domain control problem with special regard to application by industrial robot ...
