Exploration for oil and gas is moving towards deeper waters. Steel has been the most common riser material. Related to deep water concepts titanium has become an alternative to steel for these applications. Several codes ...

In centrifugal pumps the leakage and dynamic characteristics of annular seals are important factors for pump performance. Both seal leakage and dynamics are greatly affected by the relationship between fluid flow and wall ...

Slipforming is a construction method that has been used in several decades for production of concrete structures. It is a wide range of different structures that are slipformed, but typical are vertical structures such as ...

Research on freeze-thaw resistance of concrete in general and on curing and moisture conditions in particular is motivated from an economic and product sustainability point of view. Specifically, it is argued for the ...
