Abstract: Gas pulsations in a compressor suction manifold radiate noise and reduce the efficiency of the compressor. The objective of this paper is to identify and quantify the effects of modeling assumptions and uncertainties in ...

Abstract: The use of chopped fibers in the manufacturing of carbon fiber composite parts is becoming more popular in order to reduce production costs, especially in the automotive, wind, and gas storage industries. The orientation ...

Abstract: Subsurface damage in composite materials is difficult to detect using visual techniques, and other current inspection methods lack the ability to perform quick, widearea inspections without the need for reference signatures ...

Abstract: Often in the study of bodies that undergo shock loading, it is desirable to measure the response of such structures with an instrumentation package. This instrumentation can be separated from the external housing by several ...

Abstract: Design of helmets used in contact sports has been driven by the necessity of preventing severe head injuries. Manufacturing standards and pass or fail grading systems ensure protective headgear built to withstand large ...
