Abstract: An automatic ball balancer is a unique vibration suppression device for rotor systems. Theoretically, two balls in a cylindrical chamber of the rotor are located at the optimal positions on ...

Abstract: This paper studies the chloride diffusivity of concrete subjected to long-term exposure in a simulated marine environment with sustained compressive loading for up to 224 days. A series of concrete prisms were loaded under ...
