Abstract: When junk automobiles are shredded to recover the ferrous and nonferrous metals for recycling, a large quantity of nonmetallic residue, commonly called automotive shredder residue (ASR), is generated. Because ASR mostly ...

Abstract: The plane stick-slip problem has been solved analytically using the separation of variable technique. The essence of the mathematical procedure is to solve the problem separately for the “stick” ...

Abstract: Optimization under uncertainty (OUU) is a robust framework to obtain optimal designs for real engineering problems considering uncertainties. The numerical solution for large-scale problems involving millions of ...

Abstract: Infrastructure resilience is defined as the ability of a system to withstand and recover from the effects of natural or man-made hazards. For any community, quantifying its sociophysical infrastructure resilience during ...

Abstract: Flow alteration using the bio-inspired riblet structure is a fascinating field of study resulting in drag benefits. Riblets have no power requirement being a passive method. This work aims to study the effect of riblets ...

Abstract: The AWS-X “hotspot stress-load cycle” curve used at present for designing tubular joints is based mainly on the fillet-welded plate test data and some more data from small-scale tests on tubular ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop an analytical heat transfer model, which is capable of analyzing cyclic melting and solidification processes of a phase change material used in the context of electronics ...

Abstract: The cold-expansion process is used routinely for improving the fatigue life of holes in a variety of components. The expansion process involves drawing a slightly oversized tapered mandrel through ...

Abstract: In the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process, the choice of deposition strategy plays an important role. In this paper, the effects of different deposition paths on this deposition based LM ...
