Abstract: This paper reports a novel process of nanofiber formation in regenerated cellulose from cellulose acetate (CA) film by saponification and stretching. Saponification of CA film was performed using ...

Abstract: This study evaluated three algebraic stress models for predicting turbulent stresses near the free surface in a free-surface jet at nonzero Froude number, by comparing to experiments. The models ...

Abstract: This paper presents a procedure based on the Arrhenius relation to predict the long-term behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete structures, based on short-term data from accelerated aging tests. ...

Abstract: Ecosystem restoration calls for reservoir reoperation. Traditionally, a minimum water release is set as a constraint for downstream ecosystem flow requirement. Recently, research has been conducted for the purpose of ...

Abstract: This paper reports bacterial cellulose composites made by blending chitosan, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and gelatin for potential biomedical application of tissue-engineering scaffold and wound-dressing ...

Abstract: Laser-Doppler velocimetry and pressure measurements are presented of the local velocity and wall pressure distributions in a rotating two-pass square duct with staggered ribs placed on the leading ...

Abstract: A polynomial function supervising fuzzy sliding mode control (PSFαSMC), which embedded with skyhook surface method, is proposed for the ride comfort of a vehicle semi-active suspension. The ...

Abstract: For three-component laser velocimeter systems, the change in projected area of the coincident measurement volume for different flow directions will introduce an “angular” bias in naturally sampled ...

Abstract: The hydroxyl radical

Abstract: Application of liquid carbon dioxide to improve cutting performance in micro-end milling of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was proposed in this study. It was found that the machined roughness decreased with the cutting speed as ...
