Abstract: Earthmoving and construction equipment have evolved significantly during the past century. During the same time, our ability to study and understand equipment economics and productivity has also gained significant ground. ...

Abstract: In this work, the effects of rice husk ash and metakaolin additions on magnesium sulfate and corrosion resistance properties of self-compacting concrete are reported. Comparisons are made to unblended self-compacting ...

Abstract: This paper presents two stabilized formulations for the Schrödinger wave equation. First formulation is based on the Galerkin/least-squares (GLS) method, and it sets the stage for exploring ...

Abstract: An iterative procedure for computing periodic solutions of nonlinear vibrating beams is presented. The nonlinear partial differential equation is replaced by a coupled system of equations. The ...

Abstract: In underground crude oil storage facilities, concrete plugs are mainly required to contain crude oil inside caverns and are designed as gas-tight to prevent movement of any oil or vapor across the tunnel, either in a ...

Abstract: Emerging re-industrialization demands the fusion of the physical and the digital world for the development of sustainable manufacturing processes. Sustainability in manufacturing aims at improving the resource productivity ...

Abstract: In this work, the effects of rice husk ash and metakaolin additions on magnesium sulfate and corrosion resistance properties of self-compacting concrete are reported. Comparisons are made to unblended self-compacting ...

Abstract: Planning and estimating earthmoving operations rely on the ability to collect field data and analyze operations. Two recent developments have dramatically changed the methods used and the results obtained in this process. ...
