Abstract: The paper describes failures, their investigations, and repair of a 108‐in. diameter buried steel water conduit. Several circumferential breaks occurred in bells in presence of longitudinal temperature stresses, numerous ...

Abstract: Abstract. Capstone design focused on medical/assistive devices provides a golden opportunity to educate young biomedical engineers in business and entrepreneurship. What constitutes a healthy balance of engineering and ...

Abstract: Uncertainty is inherent in geotechnical design. In regard to estimating the stability state of dip slopes, most of the uncertainty lies in the geologic model assumed and the geotechnical parameters used in the evaluation. ...

Abstract: Relationships between pavement surface geometry, truck tire sound, and skid number are investigated to provide an understanding of the tire/pavement interaction mechanism. Correlation techniques are ...

Abstract: Pitting wear is a dominant form of polyethylene surface damage in total knee replacements, and may originate from surface cracks that propagate under repeated tribological contact. In the present ...

Abstract: Nucleation points for contact fatigue failures in rolling bearings are identified. In cases where bearings are made from exceptionally clean steel, fatigue failures are frequently nucleated at ...
