Abstract: A design method has been developed to determine systematically the system variables that will best achieve multiple design objectives involving both cost and damage tolerance of horizontal vessel ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with a recent microstructural approach to model creep crack growth. The model spans three different length scales, from the scale of individual cavities, through the ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the mixing processes that develop when a buoyant jet from a round outfall pipe enters a shallow moving body of water. Results from a detailed experimental study quantify the effects on jet mixing ...

Abstract: In view of the near-tip constraint effect imposed by the geometry and loading configuration, a creep fracture analysis based on C* only is generally not sufficient. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: The application of pneumatic metrology to control dimensional accuracy on machined parts is based on the measurement of gas flow resistance through a restricted section formed by a jet orifice ...

Abstract: Research undertaken in the last two decades has demonstrated that hydraulic transient pressure waves, the phenomena behind water hammer, can be used as a tool for noninvasive and nondestructive condition assessment of long ...

Abstract: Sewer construction in urban areas often requires nighttime operations to meet project schedules and to reduce possible negative effects of construction work on traffic operations. Although several studies investigated the ...
