The next generation of nuclear safety analysis computer codes will include detailed modeling of the interfacial area concentration. The interfacial area concentration is the essence of the two-fluid model. It is the most accurate of the two-phase models since it considers each phase independently and links the two phases together...
A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify
the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally
steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of
Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health
monitoring (SHM) system installed on...
Improvement of manufacturing productivity is dependent on the successful
automation of manufacturing processes, the success of which is based in turn upon
the availability of information which describes the state of manufacturing operations.
Acoustic Emission (AE) signals related to the cutting process and tool wear have
been recently applied to...
