Abstract: The authors present a well executed investigation of the temperature rise in the sliding of rough surfaces. However, this discussant has some comments regarding the technical aspects of this ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thick, complete (not truncated) conical shells of revolution. Unlike ...

Abstract: We present new experimental results on the interfacial instabilities and breakup of Newtonian liquid drops suddenly exposed to rarefied, high-speed (Mach 3) air flows. The experimental approach ...

Abstract: Simultaneous improvement of machining cost, quality and environmental impact is sometimes possible, but after the Pareto optimal frontier has been reached, decisions must be made regarding unavoidable ...

Abstract: The main objective of this investigation is to develop a model for predicting the systematic temperature measurement error due to the thermal disturbance in the region surrounding the thermocouple ...

Abstract: Models are presented for the solution of the thermal and mechanical problem of a rigid metallic cylinder indenting an elastic layer with finite thickness which rests on a rigid substrate without ...
