Abstract: A study of the effect of an elastic spherical particle embedded in an infinite elastic-plastic matrix subject to hydrostatic tension is presented. Two types of particles will be considered: (1) ...

Abstract: This paper presents complete pump characteristics of specific speeds 1800, 7600, and 13,500 (gpm units) in the ν – hP (flow ratio-head ratio) co-ordinate system. The method of developing these ...

Abstract: Buoyancy induced flows abound in nature and in our enclosures and devices. They arise through the interaction of a body force, like gravity, with a density difference. The difference is often ...

Abstract: An easily applied statistical method for adjusting wind roses that are biased toward prime (intermediate) directions is developed on the basis of several reasonable assumptions, The method gives estimates of the excess ...

Abstract: Traffic detectors support most traffic management applications, so it is important that a detector performs as expected. This study evaluates the performance of four loop sensor models and the remote traffic microwave ...

Abstract: The processes of respiration are analyzed from an engineering point of view and the requirements for resuscitator design are outlined. A review of pertinent engineering considerations is presented. ...
