Abstract: Automatic transmission gear shifts are handled by wet clutches, which determine the smoothness. The clutch face temperatures during the engagements are often an important parameter for the total ...

Abstract: Elastic moduli for a specimen of Norway spruce (

Abstract: Determination of fracture toughness values in modes I and II for wood are considered. The testing methods are based on the American Society for Testing and Materials standard “plane strain fracture toughness of metallic ...

Abstract: The determination of the critical

Abstract: One way of mitigating the negative effects of noise from road traffic is to include the external cost of noise in a road charging system. This study shows how standardized calculation methods for road traffic noise can be ...

Abstract: Elastic-plastic wrinkling of compression loaded sandwich panels made with layered cores was studied analytically and experimentally. A core with a stiff layer near the sandwich skins can improve ...

Abstract: Simulation of automatic butt-welding of large plates was investigated. Two different steels were considered. The plates were tack-welded before the butt-welding. The simulation includes the ...

Abstract: This technical note presents a new facility which was constructed in order to study sediment and bedrock abrasion processes during fluvial transport. These processes exert an important control on long-term landscape evolution ...
