RISAn Investigation of the Mechanics and Noise Associated with Coal Cutting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The results of a laboratory investigation of coal cutting mechanics and noise are presented. These experiments were performed using a linear cutting apparatus that operates over a broad cutting ...
Biologically Inspired Silicification Process for Improving Mechanical Properties of Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new type of ground treatment method is developed to improve the engineering properties of coarse-grained soils. By using biochemical concepts derived from recent discoveries into how organisms produce silicified skeletons, ...
LDA-Measurements of Transitional Flows Induced by a Square Rib
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: New fundamental measurements are presented for the transition process in flat plate boundary layers downstream of two-dimensional square ribs. By use of laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) and a large ...
Response to Landslide Dam Failure Emergencies: Issues Resulting from the October 1999 Mount Adams Landslide and Dam-Break Flood in the Poerua River, Westland, New Zealand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On October 6, 1999, a large rock avalanche from Mount Adams on the west coast (Westland) of the South Island, New Zealand, fell into the Poerua Valley. The landslide blocked the river valley, damming the Poerua River, and ...
