Surface roughness is a significant parameter which determines the efficiency of optical components. Surface damages induced by grinding strongly influence the mechanical strength and optical quality of optical glasses. It is meaningful to rapid evaluate the surface roughness through the measurement of different grinding parameters. In this study, a cup diamond wheel (D64) is used in grinding pr...

Hydraulic roughness exerts an important but poorly understood control on water pressure in subglacial conduits. Where relative roughness values are <5%, hydraulic roughness can be related to relative roughness using empirically-derived equations such as the Colebrook–White equation. General relationships between hydraulic roughness and relative roughness do not exist for relative roughness>5%. ...

Massive deformation often occurs when deep coalmine roadways pass through a fault zone due to the poor integrity of rock mass and high tectonic stress. To study characteristics surrounding in coalmine, roadway passing FD1041 China’s Gugui coalfield was investigated this research. The geo-stress were analyzed based on Mohr failure theory. Furthermore, three-dimensional model for experimental bui...

lapping is one of the most important polishing processes which can be used to fabricate flat and smooth surfaces. in this paper, the effect of lapping characteristics and mesh number of abrasive particles are studied on the surface roughness and flatness for the machining of hardened aisi 52100 rings. the most significant lapping characteristics are pressure, lap plate speed and time. scanning ...

1 This study assesses the safety effectiveness of widening shoulder widths by developing crash 2 modification factors (CMFs) and crash modification functions (CMFunctions). This study first 3 evaluates the CMFs for widening shoulder widths on rural multilane roadways using the 4 observational before-after with the empirical Bayes (EB) method to check the overall safety effects. 5 Secondly, the ...

37 INTRODUCTION As drivers age, the skills necessary for safe driving, such as vision, reflexes, flexibility, hearing and reaction time, begin to deteriorate. To cope with these changes, many drivers choose to adjust their driving habits as a means of retaining their mobility. Adjusting driving habits is one part of the puzzle; improvements to the roadway environment can be another. Traffic eng...

OBJECTIVE To describe traumatic brain injury (TBI) among injured roadway users. Aim 1 assessed the association of age, gender, alcohol/drug use, safety equipment use, type of roadway user, metropolitan area, and primary payer with motor vehicle-related TBI outcome. Aim 2 assessed the relationship of motor vehicle-related TBI and risk/protective factors with medical and economic outcomes. METH...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of esterification on the surface roughness of eastern cottonwood. eastern cottonwood was modified without using any catalyst and solvent at different temperatures and times with two linear chain carboxylic acid anhydrides (acetic anhydride or propionic anhydride). different weight percentage gains (wpgs) were obtained at different conditions....
