Continuous welded turnouts are important for CWR track through the railway station. According to equivalent resistance and non-linear theories and the principle of force diagram, a new method of theoretical calculation for continuous welded turnouts was developed. The continuous welded turnouts designed and installed according to the new theory behaved fairly well. The data collected on sites b...

introduction: the purpose of this article was to evaluate the quality of sample size calculation reports in published clinical trials in journal of endodontics and international endodontic journal in years 2000-1 and 2009-10. materials and methods: articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria were collected. the criteria were: publication year, research design, types of control group, reporting s...

Bluff body calculation was accelerated by using a special-purpose computer, MDGRAPE-2, that was exclusively designed for molecular dynamics simulations. The three main issues were solved regarding the implementation of the MDGRAPE-2 on vortex methods. These issues were the efficient calculation of the Biot-Savart and stretching equation, the optimization of the table domain, and the round-off e...

final step of rail manufacturing is cold rolling straightening process and it hassignificant effects on mechanical properties, straightness, flatness and development of residualstresses. measurement of residual stresses after straightening process is obligated by railmanufacturing standards. in the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluateresidual stresses after straightening ...
