Numerical determination and experimental validation of the fracture toughness of welded joints
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Most of the serious weldment failures lead to catastrophic consequences in terms of damage of other equipment, loss of production, and risks to workers' health and safety. Hence, there is motivation to find margin between ...
J-integral Analysis of the Simulated Heat-affected Zone of the Elevated-temperature Martensitic Steel
(Springer, New York, 2021)
Due to its superior strength at high temperatures P/T91 steel is often applied in the chemical, petrochemical and fossil-fired power generation industries. The high strength is achieved by a suitable martensitic microstructure ...
Has the latest global financial crisis changed the way road public-private partnerships are funded? A comparison of Europe and Latin America
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
A financial/economic crisis may have an adverse effect on transport public-private partnerships (PPPs) as both traffic demand is negatively influenced, and governments are further under pressure. However, research on awarded ...
Determination of LCF Plastic and Elastic Strain Components of Steel
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2022)
The behavior of steel in low-cycle fatigue (LCF) is tested experimentally, in accordance with ISO 12106:2017 (E) and/or ASTM E 606-04. For this purpose, smooth specimens which are exposed to low-cycle fatigue at several ...
Prediction model based on artificial neural network for pyrophyllite mechano-chemical activation as an integral step in production of cement binders
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The optimal outputs of pyrophyllite mechano-chemical activation in an ultra-centrifugal mill performing under different technological conditions were determined by analytical modeling and verified via Artificial Neural ...
Potential pathway for recycling of the paper mill sludge compost for brick making
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2021)
This study's focus was to develop a potential pathway for recycling of the paper mill sludge compost (PMSC) in brick making. Composting reduces the paper mill sludge (PMS) moisture content considerably and shredding becomes ...
Model of Probabilistic Analysis of Pile Capacity Based on the Extrapolation of Load-Settlement Curves
(Springer, New York, 2020)
This paper formulates a mathematical model using the extrapolation of load-settlement curves with a rational function for analyzing the capacity of piles obtained from the static load test (SLT). In preliminary analyses, ...
Optimization of adobe clay bricks based on the raw material properties (mathematical analysis)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
This research studies the effects of composition and granulometry analysis of 139 heavy clays on the important characteristics of wet and adobe clay bricks. ANN models were obtained with high prediction accuracy in training ...
Assessment of Grain Size and Grain Refinement Efficiency by Calculation of Released Heat Attributed to Formation of Primary Aluminum Crystals During Solidification of Al7Si4Cu Alloy
(Springer India, New Delhi, 2021)
Assessing heat released only related to the formation of primary crystals provides results with a significantly higher sensitivity than a traditional assessment of undercooling value. In this work, two similar Ti5B1 master ...
Application of fly ash to reduce soil dispersivity in embankments
(Publ House Bulgarian Acad Sci, Sofia, 2021)
Due to rapid development of modern highways and railroad in Serbia, the need for embankment materials has increased. Deposits of natural materials used for this purpose often contain dispersive soils. On the other hand, ...
