Abstract: A new approach of measuring through-thickness Young's moduli of composite materials using nanoindentation was proposed. First, an approximate expression of the reduced modulus of nanoindentation was introduced for orthotropic ...

Abstract: Current simulations of swirling flows in pipes are limited to relatively low Reynolds number flows (Re < 6000); however, the characteristic Reynolds number is much higher (Re > 20,000) in most of engineering ...

Abstract: The dynamic coupling analysis between floating platform and mooring/risers is one of the challenging topics in development of oil and gas exploration in deepwater area. In this paper, the dynamic coupled analysis model for ...

Abstract: mong the uncertain consequences of climate change on agriculture are changes in timing and quantity of precipitation together with predicted higher temperatures and changes in length of growing season. The understanding ...

Abstract: ir quality and heat are strong health drivers, and their accurate assessment and forecast are important in densely populated urban areas. However, the sources and processes leading to high concentrations of main pollutants, ...
