The response characteristics and stability evaluation of vegetated slope under strong wind by Yanlin Liu, Fei Wang, Feng Ji, Lianhua Zhang, Jianjun Zhao, Chen Zheng, Jibin Chen

“…At wind forces ≥ 13 (typhoon: 37.0–41.4 m/s), vegetation exerts a negative influence under the combined action of strong wind loads. (2) Based on the experimentally determined evolution of soil strength parameters, a formula c (v, w) was fitted to express the variation of cohesion with wind speed (v) and moisture content (w). (3) The optimized evaluation model demonstrates increased sensitivity compared to the traditional model, resulting in a 17.88% increase in sliding force and a 10.62–11.64% increase in anti-sliding force. …”

Non-Uniform Thermal Transfer of Molten Steel and Its Effect on Inclusion Particles Removal Behavior in Continuous Casting Tundish by Zhixiao Zhang, Tianpeng Qu, Deyong Wang, Xianglong Li, Lei Fan, Xingzhi Zhou

“…While the inlet temperature is lower, the horizontal stream cannot be maintained, resulting in a decrease in the removal rate of inclusions. Increasing the casting speed will increase the velocity of the molten steel in the tundish, make it easier to shorten the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet, and reduce the removal rate of inclusions. …”

CALCULATION OF LOADS ON THE CONTROLS WITH HELICOPTER MAIN ROTOR OF SINGLE-ROTOR DESIGN by B. L. Artamonov, M. M. Kruchinin

“…On the basis of the hinge moments values data loads on rotorcraft rotating ring, arising at different azimuthal location of the rotating main rotor blades are calculated.The calculations executed on the example of Mi-34 helicopter main rotor have shown that average loads in one revolution in the channel of collective pitch control increase in a control path at flying speed. At the same time loads in the channel of longitudinal control make up to 80 % of loads in the channel of collective pitch control, and in the channel oflateral control - to 40 % that will well be coordinated with the provided data of flight tests.…”

CONSIDERATION ABOUT A CONSERVACIONIST STUDY ABOUT THE MICRO BASINS HYDROGRAPHICS OF THE RIVERS DOS APERTADOS AND TRÊS BOCAS, NORTH OF PARANÁ – BRAZIL by Walquíria Machado, Ricardo Aparecido Campos, Nilza Aparecida Freres Stipp

“…The identification of the different kinds of predominant vegetables informs, chiefly, about the level of soil protection, since the vegetation is responsible for the protection against the impacts of the raindrops (splash), by the reduction of the speed of surface outflow (runoff), through the increasing of the land ruggedness and greater soil structure constitution that may offer greater resistance to the action of the erosive processes. …”

A Review on the Friction Stir Brazing for Joining Dissimilar Materials by Akeel Dhahir Subhi

“…Sound interfacial bonding can be observed in the central zone of FSBed joints, where intermetallic compounds (IMCs) can be formed by direct diffusion among the dissimilar workpieces after extrusion of liquid phase rather than by mechanical mixing or solidification of braze material. Increasing the transverse speed at a constant rotational speed has an influence on the peak temperature, but it remarkably reduces the holding time owing to the increased cooling rate. …”
