Abstract: It is well recognized that near-wellbore formation damage can dramatically reduce well productivities, especially for open hole completed horizontal wells. The economic impact of poor productivity ...

Abstract: Ductile materials such as AISI1008 low carbon steel characteristically exhibit poor chip breaking in conventional machining practices. This paper presents an environmentally clean cryogenic machining ...

Abstract: Crack inspection is a crucial but labor-intensive work of maintenance for in-service bridges. Recently, the development of fully convolutional network (FCN) provides pixel-wise semantic segmentation, which is promising as ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the flow characteristics and noise generation at the finite wing–wall junction. To characterize junction flow noise, acoustic measurements were taken in the acoustic wind tunnel at the Brandenburg ...
