Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for local buckling of a model of delaminated composites, that is, a layer bonded to a half-space with an interface crack. The layered system is subjected ...

Abstract: Thermal–chemical flooding (TCF) is an effective alternative to enhance heavy oil recovery after steam injection. In this paper, single and parallel sand-pack flooding experiments were carried out to investigate the oil ...

Abstract: Vehicle speed is a crucial input for mechanistic-based design and maintenance decision making of asphalt pavement. It can be measured using direct methods and indirect methods. Direct methods, such as video camera and ...

Abstract: Asphalt material is generally characterized by the modulus, whose change and decay under the same condition could be considered an indicator of pavement performance deterioration. A nondestructive seismic method, the ...

Abstract: Serpentine nozzles have been used in stealth fighters to increase their survivability. For real turbofan aero-engines, the existence of the double ducts (bypass and core flow), the tail cone, the struts, the lobed mixers, ...
