The stability analysis for a heated tube system is an
important safety feature of a nuclear power plant.
Although the system theory is well established for linear
systems described by ordinary differential equations, there
is still a shortage of theory dealing with a distributed
system, which is described by partial...
In mining and mineral processing, compressive loading is often encountered
during the comminution of ore bearing minerals and in the wear resistant materials
used in the comminution circuit. A common thread joining many of the materials that
are primarily used under compressive loading is the presence of a high modulus...
