This article conducts a comparative study on the effectiveness of ventilation to mitigate blasting effects on spherical chambers subjected to internal detonations of high explosives through finite element analysis using ...

This investigation involves a systematic study of the fracture surfaces of two grades of austempered ductile iron (ADI) broken under quasi-static, dynamic and cyclic loading conditions. The study used electron microscopy, ...

In this work untreated and alkali treated nonwoven coconut fiber mats/epoxy resin composites were manufactured using the resin transfer molding process. The alkaline solution removes some impurities present on fibers ...

New local/regional climatic data were compared with floral and faunal records from central Patagonia to investigate how faunas evolve in the context of local and global climates. Oxygen isotope compositions of mammal fossils ...

El ensayo de punzonamiento cuasi-estático ha sido una técnica que permite determinar, entre otras, la energía de perforación, carga máxima y rigidez soportada por un material. Mediante el uso del principio de superposición ...

Research on the structural behavior and buckling of vertical, aboveground tanks employed to store oil and fuels have significantly increased during the past two decades. Interest in this shell form is related not just to ...

This study evaluates the properties of a superelastic CuAlBe shape memory alloy under cyclic loading to assess its potential for applications in seismic resistant design. Wires phi = 0.5 mm, previously heated during different ...

The aeronautic structures normally operate under high levels of hygroscopic moisture from the surrounding environment at different temperature ranges while in service. Under such conditions, the behavior of laminate composite ...
