Abstract: A thin strip cross-sectional element is used to suppress vortex shedding from a plate with a width to thickness ratio of 4.0 at incidence angles in the range of 0–90 deg and a Reynolds ...

Abstract: This study proposes a new theoretical approach for predicting the tensile stress-strain relation of random short-fiber-reinforced cement composites showing pseudostrain hardening. This approach is grounded on the solid ...

Abstract: Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers have been identified as a particularly promising type of semiactive control device for hazard mitigation in civil engineering structures. Large-scale experimental testing is important ...

Abstract: Improving the wear resistance of cone bit bearings is crucial for enhancing bit life and drilling efficiency. This study integrates surface texture lubrication with bit floating sleeve bearings. A ring-block friction ...

Abstract: The layout planning of construction temporary facilities (CTFs) is a specific construction site layout problem. Despite considerable research undertaken to determine satisfactory layouts of CTFs for their significance on ...

Abstract: The high temperature in the horizontal section and bottom of a horizontal well has a significant impact on the performance of mud and the safety of drilling equipment. The high bottomhole temperature is lowered often by ...
