Abstract: A lot of failures have been generated in the tube-to-tubesheet joints of a shell and tube heat exchanger, which are greatly affected by the weld residual stresses. In order to ensure the structure integrity, it is very ...

Abstract: Cavitating flows entail phase change and hence very large and steep density variations in the low pressure regions. These are also very sensitive to: (a) the formation and transport of vapor ...

Abstract: The design of urban bus transit systems aims to determine a network configuration with a set of bus lines and associated frequencies that achieve the targeted objective. This paper presents a methodology framework to ...

Abstract: The surface performance of basalt aggregate shows a great influence on the interfacial adhesion between basalt aggregate and asphalt binder and further affects the moisture stability of the asphalt mixture. To improve the ...

Abstract: In this article, a simple and efficient method is developed to quench the steady-state vibration of a symmetric laminated composite rectangular plate subjected to multiple harmonics with distinct excitation frequencies. ...
