Abstract: A study of the progression of erosion and its detrimental effects due to solid particle impingement requires a detailed understanding of the erosion process and morphology of real surfaces of ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results pertaining to spherical glass bead and angular crushed glass particle impingement. A concept of energy absorption to explain the failure of material is ...

Abstract: Determining parting direction and parting line for die-cast parts is a nontrivial task that not only depends upon shape and topology of the part, but also on many process related factors. ...

Abstract: The weighted-least-squares method based on the Gauss-Newton minimization technique is used for parameter estimation in water distribution networks. The parameters considered are: element resistances (single and/or group ...
