Abstract: The continuous indentation technique is widely used for nondestructive evaluation of the mechanical properties of devices and materials. In particular, flow properties can be obtained by using ...

Abstract: Hardness tests are performed to determine not only hardness but also other properties such as strength, wear resistance, and deformation resistance. They are also performed to predict residual ...

Abstract: In order to fully address the characteristics of the alternative recuperated cycle with divided turbine expansion, both design and off-design analyses have been performed. Two types of mechanical ...

Abstract: The effects of a hybrid process that combines ultrasonic cavitation and electrochemical polishing on the electrochemical behavior and the resulting surface characteristics of additively manufactured 316-L stainless steel ...

Abstract: Effects of bubble size, bubble diffusing area, and other parameters in air diffusers on destratification are studied using laboratory- and pilot-scale tanks with two layers. Dimensionless group involving such variable as ...

Abstract: Total conceptual cost estimates and the assessment of the quality of these estimates are critical in the early stages of a building construction project. In this study, the support vector machine (SVM) model for assessing ...

Abstract: The primary objective of the present paper is to experimentally examine the buckling collapse characteristics of fusion welded aluminum-stiffened plate structures under axial compression until and ...

Abstract: Various methods have been developed to describe the energy consumption of machine tools; however, it remains challenging to accommodate the wide variety of machine tools that exist using a single model. In this paper we ...
