Abstract: The flow in the injection chamber of pressure die casting machines is analyzed using a model based on the shallow-water approximation which takes into account the effects of wave reflection ...

Abstract: During the initial slow stage of the injection process in high-pressure die casting machines with horizontal cold chamber, a plunger pushes the molten metal which partially fills the injection ...

Abstract: The general objective of this research was the construction and evaluation of a bridge using high-performance lightweight concrete (HPLWC). The resulting bridge over the Chickahominy River near Richmond, Va., consists of ...

Abstract: Aluminum bridge decks may prove to be an alternative to concrete decks for improving the performance of structural bridge systems. Combining excellent corrosion resistance with extremely low density, aluminum decks can ...
