Experimental Investigations on Geopolymer Bricks/Paver Blocks

Experimental Investigations on Stretchability of an Austentic Stainless Steel 316L

The purpose of this investigation is to examine the viability of using the sheet metal for forming applications. Forming limit diagram (FLD) composed of negative and positive minor strain with respect to major strain which occurs at directional zero strain with the critical thickness of sheet metal. The negative minor strain region of FLD is predicted by localized necking. However there is no d...

Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Effect of Rectangular Openings’ Aspect Ratio on Outflow Discharge

Up to now, a few formulas have been suggested by scholars for the amount of discharge from openings, however, the effect of opening's geometry on the amount of discharge has not addressed thoroughly. In this study, to assess the effect of rectangular openings’ aspect ratio on the discharge amount, experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted on the discharge amount from rectang...

Influence Of Curing Conditions on Geopolymer Leaching

The worldwide production of PCC fly ash is estimated at achieving 800 million tonnes per year in 2010 [1]. European Union regulations aim at developing new technologies focused on the recycling of these large amounts of PCC fly ash into added-value products. The synthesis of geopolymer binders may be a successful alternative, giving rise to low-cost and environmentally friendly materials with c...

Experimental Investigations on Airborne Gravimetry Based on Compressed Sensing

Gravity surveys are an important research topic in geophysics and geodynamics. This paper investigates a method for high accuracy large scale gravity anomaly data reconstruction. Based on the airborne gravimetry technology, a flight test was carried out in China with the strap-down airborne gravimeter (SGA-WZ) developed by the Laboratory of Inertial Technology of the National University of Defe...
