Abstract: Flow liquefaction is a major design issue for large soil structures such as mine tailings impoundments and earth dams. If a soil is strain softening in undrained shear and, hence, susceptible to flow liquefaction, an ...

Abstract: The flow field behind surface mounted detached square ribs under the approaching flat plate turbulent boundary layer has been experimentally studied using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) ...

Abstract: Computer simulations of the dynamics performance of roller bearings, as obtained by the computer code ADORE, are used to model the infuence of race out-of-roundness, race taper and centrality ...

Abstract: Computer simulations of dynamic bearing performance, as obtained by the computer code ADORE, are used to develop correlations between key performance parameters and geometrical imperfections in ...

Abstract: A fatigue crack growth model is developed to evaluate the behavior of planar elliptic flaws in structural components under cyclic loadings. The model is applied to plates with cyclic tensile ...

Abstract: Composite elliptic spring is a new concept as an application of fiber reinforced plastics in automotive suspensions. It functions in the same vertical deflection mode and packaging space as a ...
