Abstract: A new type of concrete, named metaconcrete, has been developed for the attenuation of shock waves induced by dynamic excitation. Inspired by the metamaterials used for the manipulation of electromagnetic and acoustic waves, ...

Abstract: An oblique circular arc representation for wellbore trajecories, a geometric analysis termed the sectional method, is presented. This approach permits projected line segments to be functions of ...

Abstract: This paper describes the axial, torsional, and transient buckling vibratory models developed for the selection of optimum core rod size. The axial and torsional vibratory core rod simulator ...

Abstract: Terrazzo is a high-grade flooring widely specified by architects for its aesthetic and durable characteristics. However, misunderstanding of material behavior and specifications can result in early deterioration, leading ...

Abstract: Terrazzo installation is often perceived as an art, left to individual contractors and craftsmen to implement tried-and-true application and repair methods. In this context, architects and engineers often relegate themselves ...

Abstract: Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, has an Earth-like volatile cycle, but with methane playing the role of water and surface liquid reservoirs geographically isolated at high latitudes. We recreate Titan’s characteristic dry ...

Abstract: It is estimated that more than 500,000 tons of obsolete and unwanted conventional weapons exist in the United States. The disposal of these unexploded ordnances, in an environmentally sound and ...
