Abstract: Discrete geologic features such as faults and highly permeable embedded channels can significantly affect subsurface flow and transport characteristics. Therefore, they must be properly identified, parameterized, and ...

Abstract: The paper describes an electro-hydraulic single floating-disk valve suitable for use as a pilot control device. For this type of application proportional action involving small movements of the ...

Abstract: The stress distributions associated with frictionless and smooth surfaces in contact are rarely experienced in practice. Factors such as layers, friction, surface roughness, lubricant films, and ...

Abstract: The flood frequency analysis has been widely conducted where gauging stations are available and statistical distributions can be used to analyze historical data. On the other hand, flash floods usually occur at unexpected ...

Abstract: Using fluorescence microscopy, the inkjet deposition dynamics of monodispersed polystyrene particles in the size range of 0.02–1.1 μm have been studied on glass, Ar plasma cleaned glass, and ...

Abstract: This paper formulates the active suspension control problem as disturbance attenuation problem with output and control constraints. The H∞ performance is used to measure ride comfort such that ...

Abstract: The thermal stability characteristics of four kerosine-type fuels are examined using a heated-tube apparatus that allows independent control of fuel pressure, fuel temperature, tube-wall temperature, ...

Abstract: This study aims at developing an optical measurement instrument to implement a diffuse optical imaging system that is incorporated with the X-ray mammogram for the purpose of obtaining functional ...
