Abstract: This paper presents the analysis of a steel connection. The analysis is performed using solid finite element and is compared to the experimental test performed in the laboratory. During the analysis special attention should be paid...
Dynamical Formulation and Analysis of double crank ring-plate-type pin-cycloidal gear planetary drive Keywords: Mechanical Transmission; pin-cycloid drive; double crank ring-plate-type pin-cycloidal gear planetary drive; dynamical analysis;...
Basic Machining Operations and Cutting Technology Abstract Machine tools have evolved from the early foot-powered lathes of the Egyptians and John Wilkinsons boring mill. They are designed to provide rigid support for both the workpiece and...
Abstract: In large marine two stroke Diesel engines during combustion of sulfur containing fuel, the sulfur is oxidised to SO2, mainly, although substantial amounts of SO3 and H2SO4 will form as well. These latter species may cause corrosio...
abstractThe construction of sheet pile walls may involve either excavation of soils in front or backfilling of soilsbehind the wall. These construction procedures generate different loading conditions in the soil andtherefore different wall...
abstractThe influence of nonlinearity on the dynamic response of cast-in-situ reinforced concrete piles subjectedto strong vertical excitation was studied. Forced vibration test of single piles (L/d=10, 15, 20) and 2 2pile groups (s/d=2, 3,...
abstractA series of plane-strain model tests was performed to investigate the behavior of cantilever soil retainingwalls (CWs) and geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls with a rigid facing (GRS-RWs) placed onnon-deformable and deforma...
Influence of Relative Density of Soil on Performance of Geocell-Reinforced Sand Foundations Sujit Kumar Dash1Abstract: The paper brings out the influence of relative density of foundation soil on performance improvement of geocell reinforce...
