The onset of gouging in high-speed sliding contacts
Hypervelocity gouging occurs in high speed sliding systems such as rocket sled test tracks, light gas guns, and railguns. Gouging takes the form of teardrop-shaped craters on the rail surface, and usually only occurs above a threshold speed which is dependent on the slider and rail material …

Order of magnitude scaling of complex engineering problems, and its application to high productivity arc welding
… geometry that tends to decrease the size of the gouging region (the most depressed part of the weld pool). In higher sulfur steels, the gouging region tends to extend beyond the hot region of the arc. In this situation the gouging region freezes prematurely and defects such as humping or a split …

The assessment of excessive pricing: before, during, and after COVID-19
… excessive pricing and leaning more toward price gouging, the Tribunal and CAC have created uncertainty and made it difficult for firms to internally assess their conduct against relevant benchmarks. In this regard, the fundamental question that arises when considering the post-COVID-19 era is …

Demolition Space and Housing Removal Policy in Detroit
… popularity has grown despite charges of price-gouging, misuse of funds, and ineffectiveness. The scale by which this initiative is reshaping the city should be familiar to anyone with knowledge of twentieth century urban renewal efforts; it likewise deserves a great deal of careful study to …

Development of Stage-I tempered high strength cast steel for ground engaging tools
… 46% improvement in impact wear simulated using a gouging abrasion test relative to steels currently employed. Recommendations for further cast alloy iterations, wear performance study and characterization are provided"--Abstract, page iv.</p>

Global Finish Curvature Matched Machining
… becomes larger to match the curvature or avoid gouging. Larger lead angles mean smaller effective curvatures at the leading edge of the tool bottom where it contacts the part surfaces. Therefore, the density of CM2 tool path is very high in these steep regions. By setting a smaller upper limit …

Identification and Robustness in Central Banking and Supply Chain
… and prices are not adjusted due to anti-price gouging laws. We show that individual producers, in this case, will not diversify for aggregate shock due to the externality of fixed prices. Multinational corporations, on the other hand, would still diversify their supply chain due to continuation …

Influence of Geotechnical Properties on Sediment Dynamics, Erodibility, and Geomorphodynamics in Coastal Environments Based on Field Measurements
… in the context of local morphodynamic and ice gouging processes. Finally, a simple case study showed how implementing in-situ erodibility parameters was important for long-term morphological modelling. The results represent a step forward in our ability to predict and mitigate climate change …

Carnivore Modification in North America: Perspectives on Neotaphonomy, Carnivore Use of Carrion, and Great Plains Bison Bonbeds
… Bear-modified elements displayed furrowing and gouging to the proximal ends and those regions around the knee that contain soft tissue. Knowledge of the distinct feeding actions can aid in distinguishing the carnivore taxa responsible for certain bone modifications and their intensity of use in …
