A method has been developed for calculating the nominal wall thickness of matching pipe for certain sizes of branch connections and stress intensification factor (SIF) and for designing branch ...

The thickness of concrete coating on a large-diameter offshore pipeline may be up to eight times the wall thickness of its steel pipe, requiring that its effects on the stiffness, stresses, and ...

Texture Analyzers are very often used for quality control of irregular products by the use of empirical measurements. The force required to crush a tablet or the distance a biscuit bends before it ...

The engineering measurement called strain is the deformation per unit of length of a material when force is applied to it. In other words, strain is a ratio of a material's change in length from an ...

Silicon nitride-based ceramics present excellent thermal and mechanical properties and compete with traditional refractory materials for resistance to corrosive media and highly fluctuating thermal ...

Optimization of the setting up time with intelligent software and accurate temperature control with an integrated temperature cabinet. Bending tests are widely used for measuring the stiffness modulus ...
