Abstract: This paper reports the measurement of 296 combinations of load, roller diameter, and plate hardness. The diameters of the steel rollers ranged from 1/16 to 4 in. inclusive. The hardness of ...

Abstract: Good ideas are often overtaken by great events. That happened to adjudication. Originally envisaged as a single concept applying across the United Kingdom, it has been overtaken by more significant constitutional change. ...

Abstract: Detailed measurements have been made within an axial compressor operating both at design point and near stall. Rotor tip clearance was found to control the performance of the machine by ...

Abstract: The theory of micropolar liquid lubrication (see Prakash and Sinha, 1975; Tipei, 1979; Singh and Sinha, 1982) takes into account only the increasing of effective viscosity in thin layers. Modern ...

Abstract: The stress and strain distributions in a circular sheet caused by the stretching of the sheet with a hemispherical punch are analyzed in terms of an incremental theory of plasticity. The ...

Abstract: This research aims to shed more light on the nature and frequency of secondary conflicts. Data for 15 unsignalized intersections located in Amman, Jordan, were collected by the use of a video camera. It was concluded that ...

Abstract: A simple method based on a mass-conservation principle is presented for estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of forest and tall vegetation canopies. The method uses semi-empirical modifications of the profiles in the ...

Abstract: A semianalytical method based on a mass conservation principle is presented for describing the transition- layer profiles of mean wind speed and momentum diffusivity and for estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of ...
