Abstract: An on-line condition monitoring and diagnosis system for feed rolls was developed for providing early warnings of malfunctions so as to avoid great losses resulting from unexpected shutdown of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation and a stress–strain model for ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC)-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes under cyclic axial compression. Test results from 12 ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of lead-free Sn-Ag base alloy, 95.5Sn-3.9Ag-0.6Cu, both experimentally and analytically. Experimentally, the deformation behavior of the material was measured ...

Abstract: The effects of specimen geometry size on the behavior of 63Sn-37Pb solder are investigated both experimentally in the laboratory and analytically with finite-element simulations. The simulations ...

Abstract: This paper presents a viscoplasticity model taking into account the effects of change in grain or phase size and damage on the characterization of creep damage in 60 Sn-40 Pb solder. Based ...

Abstract: For many continuous ingot casting processes, turbulent heat transfer in the molten pool plays a critical role which, along with buoyancy and surface tension, is responsible for the quality of ...
