Abstract: In a previous paper, the acoustic emission (AE) signal emitted from a Minster1 #3 punch press was completely characterized and effects of stock hardness were examined. The AE signal emitted ...

Abstract: As an integral part of the punch press monitoring research program, the Acoustic Emission (AE) signal emitted from a Minster1 #3 punch press is completely characterized in terms of signal ...

Abstract: Pitting wear is a dominant form of polyethylene surface damage in total knee replacements, and may originate from surface cracks that propagate under repeated tribological contact. In the present ...

Abstract: Many shell-and-tube heat exchangers operate in two-phase flows. This paper presents the results of a series of experiments done on tube bundles of different geometries subjected to two-phase ...

Abstract: Two-phase cross-flow exists in many shell-and-tube heat exchangers, such as condensers, reboilers and nuclear steam generators. An understanding of damping and of flow-induced vibration excitation ...

Abstract: An extensive experimental program was carried out to study the vibration behavior of tube bundles subjected to two-phase cross-flow. Turbulence-induced excitation is discussed in Part 3 of this ...

Abstract: An extensive experimental program was carried out to study the vibration behavior of tube bundles subjected to two-phase cross-flow. Fluid-elastic instability is discussed in Part 2 of this ...
