Abstract: The model describing the behavior of resistance brazing process developed here is a one-dimensional, explicit, finite difference model. The finite difference method uses a central difference scheme ...

Abstract: Resistance brazing is extensively used to permanently join dissimilar materials. The electromechanical equipment production industry relies on this process to join dispersion-strengthened, ceramic ...

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study of inlet flow was carried out on a Ford V6 Zephyr four-stroke cycle spark ignition engine. Details of measurements of individual cylinder flows were made ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of rice husk ash (RHA) in the properties of hydrated lime (calcium lime-CL90s) mortars with a view to improve their properties and make them more sustainable. The variation in mortar properties ...

Abstract: The problem of unsteady flow in the blade passage of a partial admission impulse turbine with supersonic nozzle flow is introduced. Previous work carried out at M.I.T. revealed the presence ...

Abstract: A method that allows better utilization of available data from a flood event is presented for the three‐parameter Muskingum floodrouting procedure. The procedure is based upon the three‐parameter Muskingum model, where the ...

Abstract: Tens of thousands of aging, bridge-class, RC box culverts are in service in the United States. Within the context of establishing load rating for in-service RC box culverts, this paper introduces, calibrates, and applies ...

Abstract: This paper describes depth-calibrated live-load attenuation for the load rating of reinforced-concrete box culverts using production-simplified models. In-plane depth calibration is accomplished using a production-simplified, ...

Abstract: Quantification and analysis of field variability are important initial steps in delineating potential variable-rate irrigation (VRI) management zones within an agricultural field. This study seeks to utilize variability ...
