Abstract: A new experimental approach to identify the cutting dynamics in turning operations is presented. This method treats the problem as a closed-loop gray-box identification problem and is based upon ...

Abstract: The geometry of overlapping tubular joints, the equations of intersection curves and the coordinate of the intersection point are introduced first. The variational method for simple tubular joints ...

Abstract: Shear wave velocity

Abstract: The behavior of cryogenic nitrogen in a room-temperature evaporator six meters long is analyzed. Trapezoid fins are employed to enhance the heat flux supplied by the environment. The steady-state ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the computation of shakedown loads of engineering structures subjected to varying loads. In particular, we focus on thermal loading and the resulting heat conduction problem ...

Abstract: Liquefaction of natural deposited sand-like gravelly soils has been widely reported in past earthquakes. Assessing the liquefaction resistance (CRR) of sand-like gravelly soils in a cost-effective and reliable way raises ...

Abstract: Liquefaction of granular soil deposits is one of the major causes of loss resulting from earthquakes. The accuracy of the liquefaction potential assessment at a site affects the safety and economy of an engineering project. ...

Abstract: In-flight measurement of shear-wave velocity (

Abstract: In order to improve the performance of semiconductor thermoelectric power generators, a high figure of merit (Z) of both material and generator system has been a target for a long time. In ...

Abstract: A thermoelectric generation system (TEGS) used in the practical industry of waste heat recovery consists of the fluidic heat sources, the external load circuitry, and many thermoelectric modules ...
