Abstract: Expanding performance of friction power in material processing techniques, considerably improves the process efficiency while decreases required load and increases imposed strain by the localized material softening. This ...

Abstract: In this paper, dynamic response of a rotating shaft with geometrical nonlinearity under parametric and external excitations is investigated. Resonances, bifurcations, and stability of the response are analyzed. External ...

Abstract: In construction projects, an unreliable work plan causes unstable workflow, which often results in task completion delay, system throughput decrease, and waste increase. Such a workflow can be managed effectively by promoting ...

Abstract: In recent years, HDPE plastic pipe producers have begun to recycle waste generated from their own production. However, there are some concerns with regard to the effects of using postmanufacturer recyclable HDPE compounds ...

Abstract: This paper is aimed to show the effects of partial stall on the fracture of the first stage rotating blades of the gas turbine compressors of an onshore gas refinery. The first part of the paper deals with the results of ...

Abstract: As construction projects get larger and more complex, subcontractors can benefit from cooperation and by forming an alliance, such as partnering. Previous studies have discussed the benefit of cooperation or partnering ...
