The effect of Sm micro-alloying on non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization kinetics of (Zr50Cu40Al10)(100-x)Sm-x (x = 0, 2, 4 at. % Sm) alloys were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission ...

Long throated flumes are widely used flow measurement devices that not requiring site-specific level to flow curves and therefore laboratory experiments. In this study, downstream expansion effect of the long throated ...

An exact analytical solution for a vibrating beam-column element on an elastic Winkler foundation is derived. The solution covers all cases comprised of constant compressive and tensile axial force with restrictions of ks ...

A new procedure for representation of elastic constant tensor in terms of its orthonormal decomposed parts is presented. Form invariants and orthonormalized basis elements are used to generate this decomposition method. ...

This book highlights the basic concepts of the CS algorithm and its variants, and their use in solving diverse optimization problems in medical and engineering applications. Evolutionary-based meta-heuristic approaches are ...

In the reinforced concrete, masonry or steel structures should be strengthened or repaired. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widely used for the last 20 years for repairing and strengthening of inadequate ...

This paper introduces new integration methods for numerical integration problems in science and engineering applications. It is shown that the exact results of these integrals can be obtained by these methods with the use ...

The transmission of vertical or horizontal structural forces to the supporting soil is a challenge to analyze for structures on elastic foundation which represent a complex medium. The two-parameter elastic foundation model ...
