USA Roller Chain has released a technical analysis examining how internal load distribution governs performance and failure behavior in roller chain systems. The core finding is that most chain ...

Abstract: Core loss is determined by flux density distribution. Since main flux density is uniform and leakage flux density is concentrated in surface ribbons of nanocrystalline core in high-frequency ...

finalsize is an R package to calculate the final size of a SIR epidemic in populations with heterogeneity in social contacts and infection susceptibility. finalsize provides estimates for the total ...

Abstract: In the process of electromagnetic launch, the nonuniform contact pressure distribution on the armature-rail interface kept changing with the armature moving forward. At first, the contact ...

Tensile membrane action (TMA) could significantly enhance the ultimate bearing capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) simply supported slabs under fire conditions. To address this, this paper proposes ...
