Abstract: The paper presents the dynamic response analysis of a flexible floating platform subjected to water transmitted, amplified earthquake accelerations input at its base. The finite element method ...

Abstract: Incremental forming (IF) of sheet metal is emerging as a useful flexible manufacturing process for forming customized shapes, some of which may not be formable using conventional techniques due ...

Abstract: The use of supplementary cementitious materials as partial replacements of the cement in concrete will play a significant role with respect to the environmental control of greenhouse effects and global temperature reduction. ...

Abstract: A numerical study of fully developed turbulent pipe flow due to a sinusoidally varying (with respect to time) axial pressure gradient was carried out using a nonlinear three-dimensional model. ...

Abstract: The flow of a viscous fluid due to symmetric peristaltic waves propagating on the horizontal sidewalls of a rectangular duct is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds ...

Abstract: Precast segmental construction offers many advantages, such as construction economy, simplicity of construction, and reduced maintenance cost. Repeated loading due to moving vehicular loads on the bridges may soften the ...

Abstract: The performance characteristics of a rice husk based integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant has been developed at the variable operating conditions of gasifier. A thermo-chemical model ...

Abstract: Biomass gasification involves the production of a gaseous fuel by partial oxidation of a solid fuel. Clean synthesis (syn) gas, produced from partial combustion of biomass, can be burnt in a ...
