Abstract: The thermal stresses in a long circular cylinder are analyzed by two approximate methods. An interpolation formula is then used to develop a semi-empirical solution for thermal stresses which ...

Abstract: Left-turn vehicles need sufficient sight distance to decide when it is safe to turn left and cross the lane(s) used by the opposing traffic. The current policy of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation ...

Abstract: The development of thermal stresses in ingots during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) as well as specialized permanent mold casting (PMC) process was modeled via numerical solution of the ...

Abstract: The estimation of energy content of municipal solid waste (MSW) is normally done by the use of modified Dulong equation (MDE). The MDE requires changing all MSW components to percentages of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen ...

Abstract: Left-turn vehicles need sufficient sight distance to decide when it is safe to turn left crossing the lane(s) used by the opposing traffic. Current AASHTO policy recommends that the adequacy of sight distance for left turns ...

Abstract: Seepage of wastewater from cesspools, and of leachate from green areas and parks, results in an annual groundwater rise of 0.5 m in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The rise causes several environmental and structural problems. A ...
