Abstract: In order to investigate experimentally the dynamic behavior of a noncontacting flexibly mounted rotor (FMR) mechanical face seal a test rig was designed and built. Test results showed that the ...

Abstract: A mechanical face seal is a triboelement intended to minimize leakage between a rotating shaft and a housing, while allowing the shaft to rotate as freely as possible. All dynamic analysis ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of mechanical face seals has been an active area of research over the past three decades. Analytical and experimental investigations have exclusively been devoted to the ...

Abstract: Recent theoretical work on the dynamics of the noncontacting flexibly mounted rotor (FMR) seal has shown that it is superior in every aspect of dynamic behavior compared to the flexibly mounted ...

Abstract: Solutions are developed for the steady, partially drained, fluid pressure field that develops around a moving penetrometer. These include rigorous solution for a point volumetric dislocation moving in a saturated elastic ...

Abstract: A solution is developed for the buildup, steady, and postarrest dissipative pore fluid pressure fields that develop around a conical penetrometer that self-embeds from free-fall into the seabed. Arrest from free-fall ...

Abstract: Detailed profiles of hydraulic conductivity are recovered from the deployment of direct-push permeameters at the Geohydrologic Experimental and Monitoring Site, Kansas. Measurements with thin tapered tips, and with standard ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the delamination and fracture integrity of the integrated circuit (IC) plastic package under hygrothermal loading by the approaches of stress analysis ...

Abstract: Stability formulas for rock armor and Tetrapods were developed using multigene genetic programming, which is one of the machine learning methods. The developed formulas are shown to be more accurate than previous empirical ...
