Abstract: Measurement of heat transfer distribution is frequently required in engineering. However, some heat transfer techniques are not able to measure accurately on two-dimensional curved surfaces. In ...

Abstract: High air outlet temperatures increase the solar share of pressurized solar receivers for gas turbines, operated in solar-fossil hybrid mode. However, an increase in outlet temperature over ...

Abstract: Comparison of stresses in Part I showed that the APILT&C 8 Round threaded casing connection could be accurately analyzed with finite element methods, with models that both included and ...

Abstract: The performance of the API LT&C 8 Round casing connection is investigated using 7-in.-29-lb/ft pipe size. Part I showed that the finite element method was applicable for analysis using both ...

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to gain a better understanding into the mechanical behavior of the API 8 Round casing connection, when subjected to service loads of assembly interference, ...

Abstract: After Hurricane Emily struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina in August 1993, approximately 50 homeowners in the towns of Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras, N.C., elected to superelevate their houses to reduce the future ...

Abstract: Construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads, highways, and bridges are necessary activities for social and economic growth in the United States. Highway construction often requires disruption of traffic due to ...

Abstract: In coastal areas residential houses are often built on piles. The space below the first floor and the ground is sometimes enclosed. The enclosure walls are constructed to break away under severe wave-induced forces so that ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional Galerkin finite element method was developed for large deformations of ventricular myocardium and other incompressible, nonlinear elastic, anisotropic materials. Cylindrical and ...
