Abstract: To prevent problems caused by burrs in machining, reduction and control of burr size is desirable. This paper presents a basic framework for and conceptual understanding of the burr formation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method for the solution of problems of moving heat sources with change of phase and with any boundary condition. Calculated results of two specific cases are ...

Abstract: The mechanical material removal (MRR) mechanisms in lapping were investigated, using concepts of two-body vs. three-body abrasion and ductile vs. brittle machining. The statistical nature of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the implementation of the finite-element model updating for the Kap Shui Mun Bridge, a 430 m main span double-deck cable-stayed bridge in Hong Kong. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge have been ...

Abstract: The investigation of dynamic response for long-span cable-stayed bridges largely depends on a detailed understanding of their dynamic characteristics, such as the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping ratios. ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the nonlinear structural responses of steel liner-reinforced concrete penstocks of a concrete dam subjected to an internal pressure. The study reported herein consists ...
