Abstract: Experimental results are presented for fatigue failure of mild steel specimens under repeated application of lateral impulses; the cumulative damage effect as a result of stresses arising from ...

Abstract: It was clearly shown that the pitting limits of gear pairs with a hunting gear ratio were appreciably lower than those of gear pairs with a unity gear ratio. This was ascribed to the ...

Abstract: The detection of an abrupt change in the parameters of a linear discrete dynamical system is considered in the framework of the easily implemented generalized-likelihood-ratio (GLR) method. This ...

Abstract: The total ice force acting on offshore pile structures, located in cold regions, has already been investigated by many researchers. Few papers, however, have described the distribution of ice ...

Abstract: When structures having inclined surfaces, such as cone-type and inclined-pile structures, are constructed in coastal and offshore cold regions, sea ice forces must be considered in their design. ...

Abstract: Pilot-scale experiments were performed to investigate the effectiveness of enhanced coagulation in removing particles and trihalomethane (THM) precursors from two surface source waters: California State Project water and ...

Abstract: There are several melt processes which promote high Jc in bulk YBaCuO. A comparison of various melt processes was performed in this study. It was found that size control of the Y2 BaCuO5 ...

Abstract: Hurricanes in southeastern Louisiana develop significant surges within the lower Mississippi River. Storms with strong sustained easterly winds push water into shallow Breton Sound, overtop the river’s east bank south of ...
