Abstract: The initial mechanical response of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) is linear until the proportional limit. This initial response is characterized by linear elastic properties, which are anisotropic due to the orientation ...

Abstract: Contrary to the common perception that tropical cyclones are on the increase, due perhaps to global warming, studies all over the world show that, although there are decadal variations, there is no definite long-term trend ...

Abstract: Foreign object impact of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials and components in a gas turbine engine environment could be detrimental to engine performance and hence must be accounted for in the design of such components. ...

Abstract: Wastewater emanating from color photograph processing units is usually in small quantities (5–20 L per day) and contains high concentrations of recalcitrant organic compounds. Disposal of such highly recalcitrant wastewater ...

Abstract: The effect of nanoparticle coating on the performance of a miniature loop heat pipe (mLHP) is experimentally investigated for heat inputs of 20–380 W using distilled water as the working fluid. Applications include the ...

Abstract: A coupled analysis of impact damage and compression-after-impact (CAI) strength of laminated composite plates was conducted using efficient analytical and semianalytical models with the goal of demonstrating and validating ...

Abstract: Repeat XBT transects made at near-fortnightly intervals in the Lakshadweep Sea (southeastern Arabian Sea) and ocean data assimilation products are examined to describe the year-to-year variability in the observed near-surface ...
