Abstract: Buoyancy driven heat transfer of water-based nanofluids in a differentially heated, tilted enclosure is investigated in this study. The governing equations (obtained with the Boussinesq approximation) ...

Abstract: A simple and efficient analytical approach is presented to determine the vibrational frequencies and mode shape functions of axially-loaded Timoshenko beams with an arbitrary number of cracks. ...

Abstract: There is continuously increasing demand for very accurate baselines, especially over long distances. Such accurate baselines are required for geodynamic studies, orbit generation, and for very precise geodetic applications. ...

Abstract: Magnetohydrodynamics natural convection in an inclined enclosure with a partition is studied numerically using a differential quadrature method. Governing equations for the fluid flow and heat ...

Abstract: The suitability of a new fuzzy genetic fused system is investigated in this study for damage identification in Timoshenko beam-type structures. Damage scenarios are created by introducing cracks of varying depth and ...

Abstract: The main goal of this paper is to investigate error sources and their influence on measured distance in reflectorless electronic distance measurement (EDM) surveys. The results of field surveys previously performed by many ...

Abstract: Cracking is one of the most common distresses in asphalt pavement. Because asphalt concrete is relatively weak in tension, synthetic fibers have shown to increase its tensile strength and, therefore, reduce the chance of ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop a simplified process and tool to assess the potential performance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures in terms of rutting, fatigue, and thermal cracking, using only asphalt mix ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the recycling potential of marble sludge, which is generated from the cutting and grinding of marble. Geopolymerization technology was applied to this aim. Waste marble sludge ...

Abstract: The main objective of the investigation was to evaluate the influence of the installation of two kinds of epoxy cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liners (adhesive and independent) on the change in load capacity of concrete and ...
