Abstract: To facilitate the initial stress design of three-dimensional (3D) curved hollow structural steel (HSS) steel (i.e., helicoidal) beams and rapid early-stage topology decisions, a series of design charts and closed-form ...

Abstract: The price differential between distillate and residual fuels tends to increase rather than decrease, offering a growing incentive to the use of residuals in diesel engines. In general, no ...

Abstract: Lateral, posterolateral, posterior, and end plate bulges in the intervertebral disks of 14 fresh human cadaver lumbar motion segments were measured. Loads were applied in compression of up to ...

Abstract: Over the past four decades, surface flaw parameters for the two-parameter glass failure prediction model were estimated based on statistical measures and the researcher’s interpretation of the failure data rather than an ...

Abstract: The integration of a physically-based distributed model with a geographic information system (GIS) in watershed-based water resources management is presented, and an example watershed is chosen to demonstrate the spatial ...

Abstract: In order to join a composite structure to a metallic structure, metal-wire mats were co-cured with composite laminas using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding technique. Then, interface ...
