Abstract: Traditional oil-soluble organic molybdenum (OM) as friction modifiers (FMs) in engine oils contain sulfur and/or phosphorus. Both sulfur and phosphorus are detrimental to the automotive exhaust gas catalysts. Consequently, ...

Abstract: Based on a tee joint, the simplified creep design methods of ASME code, elastic-perfectly plastic (EPP) analysis of Code Case N-861 (CC N-861) and the inelastic analysis by isochronous stress strain (ISS) curve, were ...

Abstract: his study develops a new variance-based uncertainty assessment framework to investigate the individual and combined impacts of various uncertainty sources on future extreme floods. The Long Ashton Research Station Weather ...

Abstract: While various factors have been assumed to affect knee joint biomechanics, few data have been reported on the function of the extensor mechanism in deep flexion of the knee. This study analyzed the patellofemoral joint ...

Abstract: Shear-bearing bearing capacity of stud within negative moment region of continuous steel-concrete composite beams was studied. Based on 3 factors of stud diameter and concrete intensity and steel fiber, orthogonal pull-off ...

Abstract: The behavior of soil–geogrid interaction is a dominant factor in the long-term performance of geogrid-reinforced earth structures. This study investigates the interaction of sandy soil and the embedded geogrid by pullout ...

Abstract: The particle shape plays an important role in controlling the behavior of granular material, thus needing to be considered in the formation and evolution of soil arching in the pile-supported embankment. Based on the ...

Abstract: Nature- and human-induced underground voids appear frequently, posing threats to the performance and stability of infrastructures. The interaction between underground voids in clay lacks attention. This study employed the ...
