Abstract: An experimental study is presented on the interaction of flashback originating from flame propagation in the boundary layer (1), from combustion driven vortex breakdown (2) and from low bulk flow velocity (3). In the ...

Abstract: In this paper, microstructural changes of cementitious matrices, provided by the combined use of silica fume and nanosilica, were investigated and deeply discussed based on the techniques of scanning electron microscopy ...

Abstract: The development of the Marcellus Shale gas play in Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States has resulted in significant amounts of water and wastes transported by truck over roadways. This study used geographic ...

Abstract: The effect of the parameterization of lateral friction on the separation of western boundary currents is addressed in an idealized context. The study is motivated by a puzzling issue that arises from the nonlinear theory ...

Abstract: Flange local buckling (FLB) of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (pGFRP) I-sections subject to flexure is investigated in this study. An experimental program, consisting of 62 four-point bending tests that had various ...

Abstract: An analytical procedure for simulating roof snow drift loads is presented. The procedure is based upon the physics of drift formation and consists of two elements. The first element is the transport rate which quantifies ...
