Abstract: Wear rates (μgm/s) versus rotor speed for carbon samples sliding against smooth and wavy copper rotors (250 μm thick copper sheets were attached to smooth and wavy steel and polycarbonate ...

Abstract: A model to calculate the quantity and quality of river flows by simulating hydro-chemical processes in soil and the spatial/temporal distribution of irrigation return flows is introduced. By simulating the hydro-chemical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model based on a multimode characteristics method for fully coupled simulation of water and sediment movement in mobile-bed alluvial channels with nonuniform bed materials. Along with the ...

Abstract: The mechanical behaviors of secant pile walls under lateral loading are complex with regard to their irregular cross sections and bonding quality of secant faces. A comprehensive model test was designed and conducted to ...

Abstract: The clear-air turbulence is difficult to detect and predict and yet affects the flight safety the most. A transport aircraft in encountering a severe turbulence frequently develops a sudden plunging motion with the abrupt ...
