Abstract: A numerical simulation method is adopted to analyze the effects of three types of defect geometries ((1) a single defect on the inner surface, (2) a single defect on the outer surface, and (3) double coaxial defects on the ...

Abstract: Typical electromagnetic heating techniques include induction heating (IH) and contact heating (CH). The study of these techniques in welding has always been a controversial topic owing to the lack of straightforward ...

Abstract: Finite element limit analysis (FELA) was used to investigate the bearing capacity of strip footing on a rock mass with single or multiple continuous voids. The underlying rock mass was assumed to have perfect plasticity ...

Abstract: In the piercing process of large-diameter seamless steel pipe blanks after heating, severe lateral cracks easily occur on the surface of pierced pipe blanks owing to the effects of the large temperature difference and ...

Abstract: The fluoridesaltcooled hightemperature reactor (FHR) is an advanced reactor concept that uses hightemperature tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel with a lowpressure liquid salt coolant. Design of the fluoridesaltcooled ...

Abstract: The laminar combustion characteristics of premixed shale gas/air flames were studied by spherical expansion flame experiments and chemical kinetics simulations. The influence of the initial temperature, the initial pressure, ...

Abstract: In this work, the hydraulic bursting method was used to investigate the bursting failure of aluminum alloy as-formed T-shaped tube by hydroforming, which consisted of the rupture region and bursting pressure. The bursting ...
