Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of microstructural defects, such as inclusions and voids, on the wave propagation phenomena in granular materials. The granular materials as well as the defects ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the effects of mechanical shock on Radio Frequency (RF) connectors is presented. The finite element method is used to analyze the mechanical shock responses of RF connectors. ...

Abstract: An experimental-numerical hybrid technique has been developed to predict the intergranular contact load transfer in granular media subjected to explosive loading. The granular media were simulated ...

Abstract: The study of applying the

Abstract: Past research has shown that the concept of

Abstract: This paper proposes an interval stochastic semi-infinite programming (ICCSIP) method for identification of regional renewable and nonrenewable energy policies under multiple uncertainties. Relative to conventional methods ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical predictions of flow around irregular-plan buildings (S-, R-, L- and U-shaped models) in high Reynolds number. The adopted computational approach and numerical models ...

Abstract: Nonintrusive, spatially resolved instantaneous temperature measurements are presented that were obtained from a reacting spray flame in a model gas turbine can combustor using coherent anti-Stokes ...

Abstract: Existing studies have shown that fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing/wrapping is highly effective in strengthening circular concrete columns but is much less effective for rectangular/square concrete columns due to ...
