Abstract: In this paper, a novel algorithm for indirect tire failure indication is described. The estimation method is based on measuring changes in the lateral dynamics behavior resulting from certain types of tire failure modes ...

Abstract: Laboratory measurements were carried out on the mobile bed covered by ripples generated by an open channel flow. The bed materials used were cohesionless and reasonably uniform; the steady‐state subcritical flume flow was ...

Abstract: An analytical solution is derived for a two‐dimensional soil with a sloping surface under steady and water‐saturated flow conditions. The soil was assumed to consist of several layers, each horizontally stratified. The ...

Abstract: Hemming is a material processing technology widely used in major sectors such as automotive and aerospace industries. As a mechanical joining process, hemming is applied to sheet metal components to build structural ...

Abstract: Occupational injury and fatality risk analysis was performed on 16 building trades in the study reported herein. The approach was based on defining risk fundamentally as the product of probability (frequency) and severity, ...

Abstract: A building stock consisting of 130 medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged moderately during the recent earthquakes in Turkey. These buildings were rehabilitated by using simple, cost-effective methods where ...

Abstract: Currently, meta-heuristics including the genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) have been used extensively to solve non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) problems. Continued efforts of researchers ...

Abstract: Currently, the genetic algorithm (GA) technique has been used in finance-based scheduling to devise critical path method (CPM) schedules exhibiting cash flows of periodical finance needs below preset cash constraints. The ...
