Abstract: The thermal performance of an uncovered radiator and a radiative cooling system was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The net radiative power of a black painted surface at ambient ...

Abstract: A method for predicting the traffic-load-induced settlement of road on soft subsoil with a low embankment is proposed. The traffic-load-induced dynamic stress in subsoil is calculated by the multilayer elastic theory (not ...

Abstract: One of the key aspects in leak-before-break analyses is to predict the maximum load-carrying capacity of a circumferentially cracked pipe. Such analyses require the fracture resistance of the ...

Abstract: In Part I (Miura and Wilkowski, 1998) of this paper, the theory of the two η-factor solutions for circumferentially through-wall-cracked pipes subjected to combined bending and tension due to ...

Abstract: Cavitation damage tests in polymer solutions are made with a vibratory cavitation apparatus. It is possible for this device to suppress the degradation of polymer by ultrasonic cavitation. Polymer ...
