Abstract: A mathematical model is presented in this paper that can be used to analyze the effect of 3-D surface topography on the thermal, transient micro-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). The model ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to conduct a qualitative analysis on the effects of lubricant shear thinning, lubricant shear heating and the roughness-induced transients on the pressure rippling ...

Abstract: This paper encompasses initial tests of a droplet sizing technique, providing spatially and temporally resolved measurements within a liquid spray from an air assist nozzle. The method utilizes ...

Abstract: A model is developed to study the tribological behavior of sliding micro-contacts. It provides a building block to the modeling of tribo-contacts in boundary lubrication. Three contact variables ...

Abstract: The paper reviews needs and opportunities to reduce the vulnerability of public water systems to willful attack. Water supply infrastructure systems, and their components are described in general. The terrorist threat is ...

Abstract: The goal of “as-built” computational modeling is to incorporate the most representative geometry and material information for an (fabricated or legacy) object into simulations. While most engineering ...
