Abstract: This paper outlines a methodology for bridge project selection based on reliability methods and optimization procedures, which could serve as part of a bridge management system. The Markovian model is used to decay the ...

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was investigated as a vehicle for incorporating thermally reduced graphene oxides (TRGOs) into metal matrix composites (MMCs). The TRGOs were synthesized using the modified Hummers’ method and ...

Abstract: Oxidative mechanisms in tribological processes are commonly related with temperature and the real contact area. In this article, a lumped parameter dynamic model was developed to predict friction-generated oxide thicknesses ...
