In this paper, an analytical method based on Modified Slab Method of analysis is presented to study the asymmetrical rolling process due to difference in work rolls radii, rolls speeds and interface frictions. The shear force imposed on material along the contact region is considered to be a function of the frictional factor and the roll gap geometry. Elastic-plastic with linear work hardening ...

In this work, a more accurate prediction of liquid evaporation flux has been achieved. The statistical rate theory approach, which is recently introduced by Ward and Fang and exact estimation of vapor pressure in the layer adjacent to the liquid–vapor interface have  been used for prediction of this flux. Firstly, the existence of an equilibrium layer adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface ...

This paper investigates the effect of moisture content on interface shear strength between offshore clay and steel plate. Although, sensitive and high plasticity offshore clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and many other countries in the world, and steel is a vital construction material for many structures, research works on interaction between offshore clay and steel surface are ...

In this paper, we present Component Interface Diagrams as a notation to describe service access points (interfaces) of components, their structure, and their navigability. We g i v e guidelines that allow to map the component model presented here to diierent technologies, like ActiveX, CORBA, and Java Beans. The framework Frisco OEF, implemented in Java, illustrates the proposed component conce...

The world globalization process, the increasing demand of communication and information technologies creates an enormous demand for collaborative applications. Aiming to support communication, information change and collaboration between users geographically distants, many CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) systems like audio and videoconference, shared editors, shared whiteboard and CV...

The Multi-function Control and Display Unit (MCDU) has been identified as a source of issues pilots have transitioning to glass cockpits. Several aircraft manufacturers and avionics vendors have committed to replace the MCDU with graphical user-interfaces in the next generation of commercial aircraft. A cognitive task analysis of pilot-MCDU interaction, described in this paper, has identified t...
