Abstract：This work applies modular design concepts to designating beverage-container injection molds. This study aims to develop a method of controlling costs and time in relation to mold development, and also to improve product design. Th...
Abstract Axial compression of aluminium spherical shells of R/t values ranging from 25 to 43 was per-formed under central loading. Quasi-static tests were conducted on an INSTRON machine (model 1197) of 50T capacity. Spherical shells were te...
AbstractThermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV) had proved their significant contribution in energy savings for several years. However, at low heat demands, an unstable oscillatory behavior is usually observed and well known for these devices. Th...
An air conditioner is basically a refrigerator without the insulated box. It uses the evaporation of a refrigerant, like Freon, to provide cooling. The mechanics of the Freon evaporation cycle are the same in a refrigerator as in an air cond...
To produce thin walled products in a precise and stable manner, FANUC have developed electric injection moulding machines driven by a rotary or linear motor to meet the particular features required for moulding products such as wall thicknes...
Abstract: Few studies on the anchorage of reinforcing bars under the compressive conditions have been undertaken. This paper reports the results of 99 pushout tests done to investigate the compressive bond anchorage properties of 500 MPa ste...
Abstract: Numerous terrorist events during the last decade, including the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, have heightened concern about the safety of bridges during intentional/unintentional blast load effects. Analysis of highway bri...
Abstract This paper predicts some trends foreseen in the new century as regards the indoor environment and thermal comfort. One trend discussed is the search for excellence, upgrading present standards that aim merely at an acceptable condit...
The overall goal of this project was to advance the state-of-the-art in GPR techniques so that it can become a more practical and reliable tool for assessing the integrity of reinforced concrete bridge decks, with particular attention direct...
ABSTRACT: In thermoplastic injection moulding, part quality and cycle time depend strongly on the cooling stage. Numerous strategies have been investigated in order to determine the cooling conditions which minimize undesired defects such as...
