Examination of the Extinguishment Performance of a Water Mist System Using Continuous and Cycling Discharges
We conducted a series of full-scale fire tests of a twin-fluid water mist system in an empty enclosure and in a simulated machinery space. During the tests, two water mist discharge modes, continuous and cycli...

Method for Removing Secondary Peaks in Remote Field Eddy Current Testing of Pipes
In the remote field eddy current (RFEC) testing of pipes, because the remote eddy current penetrates the pipe’s wall twice, the testing results exhibit two peaks (primary peak and secondary peak) that originat...

Experimental Study on the Interaction of Cylindrical Converging Shock Waves with Sinusoidal Light-Heavy Interface
Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability occurs when an initially perturbed interface separating two different fluids is impulsively accelerated by a shock wave, which was first investigated theoretically by Richtmy...

Micromechanics-based modeling of elastic modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion for CNT-metal nanocomposites: effects of waviness, clustering and aluminum carbide layer
A micromechanical model is analytically developed to estimate the elastic modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs). The...
