Expected seismicity and the seismic noise environment of Europa [PDF]
, 2017 Seismic data will be a vital geophysical constraint on internal structure of Europa if we land instruments on the surface. Quantifying expected seismic activity on Europa both in terms of large, recognizable signals and ambient background noise is ...

Potential of South African road technology for application in China
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2017 One of the main problems with roads and highways in China is the reflection cracking caused by the cement stabilized subbase layers passing through the overlying asphaltic layers.

Ultra-thin titanium nitride films for refractory spectral selectivity [PDF]
, 2018 We demonstrate a selectively emitting optical Fabry-P\'erot resonator based on a few-nm-thin continuous metallic titanium nitride film, separated by a dielectric spacer from an optically thick titanium nitride back-reflector, which exhibits excellent ...

Modification of the aluminum for making offset printing plates [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2000 Aluminum as the base of offset printing plates should make good contact with wetting agents and the light sensitive layer and should be resistant to wear and cracking. In order to achieve this, the aluminum is roughened and eventually anodized.

Effect of high-pressure rolling followed by laser processing on mechanical properties, microstructure and residual stress distribution in multi-pass welds of 304L stainless steel [PDF]
, 2016 Multi-pass fusion welding by a filler material (wire) is normally carried out to join thick steel sections used in most engineering applications. Multiple thermal cycles from a multi-pass weld resulted in a variable distribution of residual stress field ...

Numerical Simulation on Reflective Cracking Behavior of Asphalt Pavement [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Cracks are one of the main problems that plague road workers. A correct understanding of the internal crack propagation mechanism of asphalt pavement will help road workers evaluate the road’s working status more comprehensively and make more reasonable decisions in design, construction, and maintenance work.

Should the structure have been underpinned? - reflection after a quarter of a century [PDF]
, 2004 A case study of a domestic structure that suffered damage as a result of foundation movement in the 1970s is examined. Conclusions and recommendations made at the time are re-visited in the light of limitations of the original site investigation and ...

High-resolution 3D weld toe stress analysis and ACPD method for weld toe fatigue crack initiation [PDF]
, 2019 Weld toe fatigue crack initiation is highly dependent on the local weld toe stress-concentrating geometry including any inherent flaws. These flaws are responsible for premature fatigue crack initiation (FCI) and must be minimised to maximise the fatigue

Reflective cracking behavior for traffic and temperature effects [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents a study on the influence of the effects of temperature variations, in comparison with traffic effects, on the reflective cracking overlay behavior. It is intended to contribute to the improvement of the pavement overlay design methods which consider reflective cracking as one among distress criteria.
