Abstract: Mixed lubrication characteristics of hydrostatic thrust bearings are examined experimentally. The effects of the surface roughness, supply pressure, loads, speed of rotation and size of restrictors ...

Abstract: On mixed and fluid film lubrication the characteristics of hydrostatic bearings for hydraulic equipment are studied numerically. By applying a mixed lubrication model derived in a previous paper ...

Abstract: A filter unit (FU) is a structure installed with the aim of protecting the foundation of an embankment revetment from riverbed scouring, and there are cases in which sediment is deposited in the surrounding area after ...

Abstract: Horizontal drains (HDs) are used widely for effective groundwater management in agricultural lands and geotechnical applications. These drainage systems facilitate water flow through perforations in the HD pipe wall, causing ...

Abstract: This study examines the postliquefaction flow failure mechanism, in which shear strain develops due to seepage upward during the redistribution of excess pore water pressure after an earthquake. The mechanism is addressed ...

Abstract: This paper describes the formulation of a model for optimized crop and water planning decisions in an irrigation system in Thailand. It facilitates consultation in which representatives of stakeholders, officials, farmers, ...

Abstract: This study examined the liquefaction-induced ground settlement of silty sand ground, in which many nonplastic fines are contained. Investigation determined that if fines were included in the specimen, the minimum void ratio ...
