Abstract: A laser spallation technique developed recently for measuring the tensile strength of interfaces between thin films and substrates was used to measure the cleavage strength across different ...

Abstract: In this paper, a three-dimensional model of a semi-infinite layered body is used to predict steady-state maximum surface temperature rise at the sliding contact interface for the entire range ...

Abstract: A variety of methods are in use for the design of controllers for adjusting canal gate positions to maintain a constant water level immediately upstream from check gates. These methods generally rely on a series of tests ...
