Abstract: Scour is a natural phenomenon in alluvial streams around hydraulic structures due to the removal of bed material and often leads to their failure. Scour due to jets are the most prevalent form of scour seen downstream of ...

Abstract: Most developing countries still have various makes of petrol-driven cars dominating the overall passenger vehicle fleet. In such countries, the emission certification policy for in-use vehicles remains an area of concern, ...

Abstract: Heat and mass transfer analysis of evaporative cooling process in a potinpot cooling system is done based on Reynolds flow hypotheses. The model proposed herein assumes that the heat transfer due to natural convection is ...

Abstract: Different operations, such as take-back, cleaning, and repair, lead to high system variability rendering remanufacturing systems difficult to manage. Even when a product is successfully remanufactured, ...

Abstract: This paper examines the scaling behavior and the nature of variability of regional flood series in Quebec and Ontario, Canada. The scaling behavior and nature of variability were investigated using both the conventional ...

Abstract: Product take-back and remanufacturing systems are difficult to implement cost effectively. One contributing factor is the complex nature of the inter-relationships among components of a product. ...

Abstract: This paper explores the idea of tailoring the profile of reinforcing fibers to improve the buckling strength of composite plates. This paper analyzes the uniaxial buckling behavior of composite laminates in which fibers ...

Abstract: Projections using global climate models indicate that climate change will influence the patterns of natural hazards, such as thunderstorms, atmospheric river landfalls, extreme droughts, and ocean waves. The frequency and ...
