Abstract: This paper is a direct extension of Part I. The relationships important to turbulence amplifier characteristics but not amenable to direct analysis are empirically determined in this part. These ...

Abstract: The design of turbulence amplifiers is given a rational basis by identifying the critical parameter groups necessary to completely specify the performance of a given element, deriving by analysis ...

Abstract: Dynamic SEM studies of plastic flow in a uni-axial tensile test requires that the loading stage possess more than an ability to apply large loads to the test specimen. In such a test, ...

Abstract: The problem of deriving a suitable mathematical model for complex devices is discussed. A small vibratory air pump is used as the medium of presentation. The modeling process begins with the ...

Abstract: A manufacturing system consists of the following processes; design, materials selection and processing, assembly, and quality control. Maximum productivity of a given manufacturing system can be ...

Abstract: A prototype apparatus is described that performs a real-time optical measurement of surface roughness in the 2 to 20 microinch AA range, typical of high-quality grinding, honing, and lapping. ...
