Abstract: Clays such as kaolinite and bentonite are widely used in various industries as sorbents. The sorptive characteristics of clays are exploited when they are used in contaminant barrier systems. To use clays effectively, their ...

Abstract: The prediction of lateral spreading is an important task because of the complexities of lateral-spreading behavior. The aim of this work is to improve an accurate liquefaction-induced lateral-spreading prediction by using ...

Abstract: Heat transfer coefficient (HTC) is one of the most important and difficult-to-obtain parameter in high temperature environment. Contact pressure and workpiece surface roughness are among important ...

Abstract: The prediction of lateral spreading is an important task because of the complexities of lateral-spreading behavior. The aim of this work is to improve an accurate liquefaction-induced lateral-spreading prediction by using ...

Abstract: Elastic moduli (Young’s modulus and shear modulus) are material properties that describe a material’s elastic stress-strain relation, and are therefore two of the most important properties in geotechnical engineering design ...

Abstract: In this study, “energy efficiency” study has been performed for a natural gas fuelled boiler, operating at 42,000 kPa pressure and 713.15 K temperature, with a nominal capacity of 33.33 kg/s ...

Abstract: We are conducting the development of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and components made of CMC for a 100 kW automotive ceramic gas turbine (CGT) as shown in Fig. 1. When compared to monolithic ...

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to compare the capabilities of four of the known methods; more specifically,
