Correlation between Earthquakes and AE Monitoring of Historical Buildings in Seismic Areas

  • Giuseppe Lacidogna,
  • Patrizia Cutugno,
  • Gianni Niccolini,
  • Stefano Invernizzi and
  • Alberto Carpinteri

8 December 2015

In this contribution a new method for evaluating seismic risk in regional areas based on the acoustic emission (AE) technique is proposed. Most earthquakes have precursors, i.e., phenomena of changes in the Earth’s physical-chemical properties that t...

Irregular Homogeneity Domains in Ternary Intermetallic Systems

  • Jean-Marc Joubert,
  • Mohamed Andasmas and
  • Jean-Claude Crivello

4 December 2015

Ternary intermetallic A–B–C systems sometimes have unexpected behaviors. The present paper examines situations in which there is a tendency to simultaneously form the compounds ABx, ACx and BCx with the same crystal structure. This causes irregular s...

Magnetohydrodynamic Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids in Stretchable Convergent/Divergent Channels

  • Syed Tauseef Mohyud-Din,
  • Umar Khan,
  • Naveed Ahmed and
  • Saleh M. Hassan

4 December 2015

This article is dedicated to analyzing the heat transfer in the flow of water-based nanofluids in a channel with non-parallel stretchable walls. The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nature of the flow is considered. Equations governing the flow are transfor...
