Abstract: Tension-compression, torsion, and axial-torsion fatigue experiments were conducted on the AL6XN alloy to experimentally investigate the cyclic plasticity behavior and the fatigue behavior. The ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development and testing of a methodology for continuous detection, size estimation, and location of leaks in pipelines using a closed-loop boundary feedback estimator constructed on a real-time ...

Abstract: Gas turbine diagnostic techniques are often based on the recognition methods using the deviations between actual and expected thermodynamic performances. The problem is that the deviations generally ...

Abstract: A modern gas turbine engine (GTE) is a complex nonlinear dynamic system with the mutual effect of gasdynamic and thermal processes in its components. The engine development requires the precise realtime simulation of all ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to investigate the application of headed glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) ribbed bars at the barrier wall-deck anchorage. Six full-scale barrier models of 1,200 mm in length were ...

Abstract: A field study on visibility during Arctic blowing snow events over sea ice in Franklin Bay, Northwest Territories, Canada, was carried out from mid-January to early April 2004 during the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study ...

Abstract: AbstractTo understand the atmospheric mechanisms resulting in a pronounced cold season climate variability in central Asia, an objective weather-type classification is conducted, utilizing a k-means-based clustering approach ...
