Abstract: Experiments are performed to study the interaction of an impinging shock wave and an expansion fan in a Mach 1.280 flow. The expansion fan neutralizes the pressure rise induced by the impinging ...

Abstract: An Eulerian/Lagrangian computational procedure was developed for the prediction of cavitation inception by event rate. The carrier-phase flow field was computed using an Eulerian Reynolds-averaged ...

Abstract: Hysteresis elements such as elasto-plastic dampers are important for mechanical structures. They have nonlinearities and thus the vibration characteristics of mechanical structures with hysteresis ...

Abstract: Hysteresis elements such as elasto-plastic dampers are important elements for mechanical structures, especially for earthquake-proof structures. When such nonlinear supports are utilized for piping ...

Abstract: The Bagci, Gerber, Goodman, quadratic, and Soderberg diagrams are some of the diagrams proposed to serve as practical design tools for the design of ductile metals loaded in fatigue with ...

Abstract: Robot calibration plays an increasingly important role in manufacturing. For robot calibration on the manufacturing floor, it is desirable that the calibration technique be easy and convenient ...

Abstract: This study experimentally investigates the effect of circuitry on the refrigerant-side pressure drops of plate finned tube evaporators. Experiments were performed with countercross, parallel-cross, ...

Abstract: Part 2 of this two-part paper provides an example case study following the recently developed comprehensive verification and validation approach presented in Part 1. The case study is for a ...

Abstract: Part 1 of this two-part paper presents a comprehensive approach to verification and validation methodology and procedures for CFD simulations from an already developed CFD code applied without ...
