Abstract: Frequently occurring moderate earthquakes in the Indian subcontinent have extensive impact on the nonengineered shelters of the local people inhabiting them because these shelters generally consist of unreinforced masonry ...

Abstract: Miniature components with complex shape can be created by micromilling with excellent form and finish. However, for difficult-to-machine materials, such as Ti-alloys, failure of low-flexural stiffness microtools is a big ...

Abstract: Chatterfree machining is necessary in micromilling to avoid the catastrophic failure of microend mill. The accuracy of the prediction of chatterfree machining conditions in highspeed micromilling has been improved in this ...

Abstract: In New Mexico, many reinforced concrete slab (RCS) bridges provide service on interstates I-10, I-25, and I-40. The load rating for this type of bridge largely depends on the live-load moment in the slab. Consequently, the ...

Abstract: The prediction accuracy of the stability boundary in the machining process depends upon accurate estimation of cutting tool-tip dynamics. Note that the experimental modal analysis using direct impact at miniature end mill ...

Abstract: Contaminants of emerging concerns (CECs) persist in the environment and are present in the air, water, and soil. They include various industrial, chemical, pharmaceutical, and personal care products (PCPs) and metallic ...

Abstract: AbstractFundamental to sustainable development is the management of soil and water resources, particularly in the most vulnerable regions, such as deltas. This calls for the development of models that can handle complex ...
