FLEXURAL-TORSIONAL-DISTORTIONAL ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE SPINE MONO-SYMMETRIC BOX GIRDER SECTION
The differential equations for torsional-distortional analysis of a double spine mono-symmetric box girder section were obtained following Vlasov’s theory. The evaluation of Vlasov’s coefficient of the governing differential equations formed a major part of this work. This involved the valuation of the various strain mode diagrams for the box section...

Sr-Site Deficient La-Sm Co-Doped SrTiO3 Thermoelectric Ceramics
The phase, microstructural and thermoelectric properties of Sr1-3x/2Smx/2TiO3 (0.05 x ) ceramics were investigated. Samples with varying concentrations of La3+ and Sm3+ ions were batched, synthesized by solid state reaction (SSR) method, calcined in air and sintered in 5 % H2/N2 at 1773 K for 6 h. The particle size... Read more
SURFACE THERMODYNAMICS EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE FOR THE EFFICACY OF PARTICLES INTERACTION
Surface thermodynamics study is the application of the mind to an investigative search for the nature and rate of heat transfer on the surface of any particle-particle interaction. This paper presents the theory and a designed practical manual for the demonstration of the Combined Hamaker Coefficient-a thermodynamic method for the... Read more
