Mechanical behaviour of lined pipelines under welding and impact See

The research presented in this thesis covers two critical problems regarding lined pipes: dynamic impact and welding. A lined pipe consists of an inner layer (the liner) made of corrosion resistant alloy (CRA), e.g. AISI304 stainless steel, and an outer layer made of low carbo...

A More General Model of Price Complexity See

This paper considers a model of competition in prices and price complexity levels, which accommodates concave and convex confusion technologies. In symmetric equilibrium, the probability of using high complexity increases in the number of Örms. In the limit, as the number o...

Analysis of scavenge port designs and exhaust valve profiles on the in-cylinder flow and scavenging performance in a two-stroke boosted uniflow scavenged direct injection gasoline engine See

© 2017, © IMechE 2017. In this study, effects of intake scavenge port designs and exhaust valve opening profiles were studied on the scavenging process in a newly proposed two-stroke boosted uniflow scavenged direct injection gasoline engine by detailed three-dimensional engine simulations.&...

A comprehensive review of power quality issues and measurement for grid-integrated wind turbines See

The generation of wind energy deliberately becomes a significant part of electrical power generation in developed nations. Factors like fluctuation in natural wind speed and the use of power electronic devices present issues related to power quality performance of wind turbine&#...

36th International Conference on Biomechanics in Sports See

Some leading pole vault coaches recommend a late planting of the pole, at close to the instant of take-off. This technique is believed to reduce the energy lost during the take-off and produce a higher vault. The present study re-analysed data from a previous study in...
