Abstract: The potential effects of persulfate in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) on metals and on long-term groundwater quality is an important issue because of the potential risks to public health and to the environment. Application ...

Abstract: Wear and surface damage of tools (die materials) in the hot metal forming industry is a critical problem observed and is producing an adverse effect on the process economy. The problem occurs when tool and workpiece interact ...

Abstract: Piezoelectric materials have proven their efficacy for both energy harvesting and structural health monitoring (SHM) individually. Piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) patches, operating in

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the use of polymeric end-of-waste materials, including polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) and other plastic types that have not been comprehensively studied to date, namely, acrylonitrile-bu ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) construction stands as one of the most prevalent engineering endeavors, underscoring the importance of routine structural health assessments. Numerous factors, including overloading, design ...

Abstract: In this work, we address the issue of modeling squeeze film damping in nontrivial geometries that are not amenable to analytical solutions. The design and analysis of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators, ...

Abstract: An image-analysis technique was applied for noninvasive measurements of settling rate of polystyrene latex spheres of 6, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 160 μm diameters in a quiescent environment. A CCD (charged couple device) camera ...

Abstract: A typical three-fluid cross-flow heat exchanger with nonuniform inlet temperature in the central (hot) fluid is considered for the present analysis. Steady and transient state behavior of the heat exchanger is observed for ...
