Abstract: In this paper, we develop a model to determine the temperature distribution in moving webs due to heating by radiation panels and convection from the web surface. Heating of the transported material is common in many web ...

Abstract: The wind stability of suspension bridges in the construction phase can often be more problematic than in the final state. In this paper, numerical wind stability analyses are performed for the erection process of both ...

Abstract: In this note an example of modeling of biodegradation processes of an old abandoned municipal solid waste landfill for its simulation is illustrated using the landfill dynamic simulation tool MODUELO. In this program the ...

Abstract: Spatially dependent transfer functions for web span lateral dynamics which provide web lateral position and slope as outputs at any location in the web span are derived in this paper. The proposed approach overcomes one ...

Abstract: The influence of aerodynamic appendages on the wind stability of box-girder suspension bridges is examined, with special reference to the stability of bridges with very long spans (above 2,000 m). Aerodynamic appendages ...

Abstract: In differential drive robots, wheel slip severely affects the ability to track a desired motion trajectory and the problem is exacerbated when differential drive robots are used in applications involving coordination of ...

Abstract: In this work we study the hydrodynamics of characteristic gas jets resulting from guillotine breaks of steam generator tube rupture sequences (SGTR) in pressurized nuclear power reactors. As an ...
