Abstract: The current Section VIII Division 2 of ASME code permits only the method based on experience with comparable equipment of paragraph 5.5.2.2 to be used for the exemption from fatigue analysis when the design allowable stress ...

Abstract: More exact expressions of the fundamental equations of a member with initial imperfections subjected to the action of bending and torsional moments are derived. Since beam problems involve moderately large in‐plane deformation ...

Abstract: For the period 1959?81, quasi-zonal hydrographic sections have been made between the southern coast of Vancouver Island (49°N, 126°W) and Ocean Station P (50°N, 145°W) approximately every two months. Along this section ...

Abstract: Thirty-year time series of hydrographic observations from Ocean Station PAPA and Line ?P? are used to estimate secular trends in monthly mean steric sea level heights relative to depths of 100 and 1000 decibars in the ...

Abstract: Tests results on lubrication for metal forming in laboratories are sometimes not applicable to actual processes; this may be attributed to heat generation, which is influenced by the length of ...

Abstract: A simple method to predict the uplift displacement of a manhole and trench-backfill settlement due to liquefaction is proposed. The conventional equilibrium of vertical forces acting on a manhole is solely a function of ...

Abstract: A three-roll bending process with an automatic control system for producing a bar with a U-shaped cross section is studied. The relationship between the bending moment and the curvature of the ...

Abstract: This investigation was conducted to enhance understanding of combustion in a direct injection (DI) diesel engine with square combustion chamber. The investigation included a bench study of spray ...

Abstract: Effects of cyclic stress on the mechanical properties of collagen fascicles were studied by in vitro tissue culture experiments. Collagen fascicles (approximately 300 μm in diameter) obtained ...
