Abstract: A depth-averaged two-dimensional (2D) numerical model for unsteady flow and nonuniform sediment transport in open channels is established using the finite volume method on a nonstaggered, curvilinear grid. The 2D shallow ...

Abstract: A simplified physically based model has been developed to simulate the breaching processes of homogenous and composite earthen embankments owing to overtopping and piping. The breach caused by overtopping flow is approximated ...

Abstract: A troublesome problem in flat belt transmission is a phenomenon known as skew, where the belt moves along the axial direction of the pulleys in operation. Skew usually is caused by angular ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...

Abstract: Some considerations on elastomer mount design in vibration isolation when both the machine and foundation have many resonances are presented, and possibilities for improvement on the mount ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) numerical model has been developed to simulate dam-break flows with sediment transport over movable beds. The hydrodynamic model solves the 3D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using a ...

Abstract: Metal timing belt (perforation metal belt) is a new element of mechanical transmission and its application is increasing in many fields of industry in recent years. However, there has been ...
