Nitrous Oxide Fluxes from a Commercial Beef Cattle Feedlot in Kansas
(2014-03-10)Emission of greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide (N2O), from open beef cattle feedlots is becoming an environmental concern; however, research measuring emission rates of N2O from open beef cattle feedlots has been ... -
Numerical analysis of the straightening process of thin plate structures by elastic FEM based on the inherent strain method
(2012-12)Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ... -
Numerical study of inherent deformation produced in thick plates through bending by line heating
(2006-06)In ship building, line-heating is widely employed as an effective method to form steel plate with complex 3-dimensional carved geometries. However the plate bending by line heating is strongly dependent on skills. To ... -
A numerical study of parameters governing an inherent deformation database of plates formed by line heating
(2008-08)As an overall strategy to improve the accuracy of the forming process, the authors pay attention to those factors which may influence the inherent deformation of plates formed by line heating. In order to identify those ... -
