Abstract: A bolted flange may be subjected to the axial tensile, torsional, and bending external loads in service. The axial tensile, torsional, and bending resistance of the bolted flange is vital for the system vibration, dynamic ...

Abstract: Heterogeneity is an intrinsic characteristic of rock and rock-like (brittle) materials. The statistical homogeneity assessment using Weibull distribution with a homogeneity index, m, is one of the most widely used methods ...

Abstract: In this study, thread forming performance is evaluated under cyclic heating and cooling of tapped lightweight multimaterial joints in which steel self-tapping screws are used. Joint performance is assessed in terms of ...

Abstract: An experimental procedure and test setup are used for investigating effect of using nanoparticle additives to the adhesive on the load transfer capacity (LTC) of bonded magnesium (Mg)–steel (St) single lap joints (SLJ). ...

Abstract: Internal combustion Rankine cycle (ICRC) concept implements oxy-fuel combustion, direct water injection (DWI), and waster heat recovery (WHR) into traditional Otto or diesel cycle to realize high thermal efficiency and low ...

Abstract: The internal combustion Rankine cycle (ICRC) engine utilizes pure oxygen as the oxidant instead of air during combustion to prevent the generation of nitrogen oxide emissions and lower the cost of CO2 recovery. To control ...
