Abstract: Typical objectives of structural design and typical constraints in rheology are discussed and classified. They are divided into two groups: the objective may depend on time (creep velocities, ...

Abstract: Optimal design of structures, or rather just of simple structural elements working under creep conditions, belongs to the most recent branches of structural optimization. It was initiated by ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of a fiber optic cable inserted into a straight steel pipeline on pressure oscillations occurring during the rapid water hammer phenomenon. In order to numerically simulate water hammer ...

Abstract: In this study, a mathematical model of the honing process for helical gears with external teeth was developed. The proposed novel method of obtaining the two-parameter envelope of a family of surfaces proved useful in ...

Abstract: A spectrometric system was developed for spent fuel burnup evaluations at the LVR-15 research reactor, which employed highly enriched (36%) IRT-2M-type fuel. Such a system allows the measurement of fission product axial ...

Abstract: In the paper, the behavior of wet steam flow is described in three different steam turbines. The first one is the 1100 MW turbine in the nuclear power plant with the pressurized water reactor. The second one is the 660 MW ...

Abstract: Measurements of thrust bearing friction torque are difficult because of the small values of the friction force in comparison with the axial load. Another problem of a thrust bearing test rig ...

Abstract: This paper presents a four year climatology of penetrations of the tropopause (of more than 5000 ft) by thunderstorms at ten locations in the United States. WSR-57 radar data for 1961 through 1964 were used to determine ...
