Abstract: An experimental and numerical study was performed on an optimized compressor stator cascade designed to operate efficiently at high inlet Mach numbers (M1) ranging from 0.83 to 0.93 (higher ...

Abstract: A study of controlling dynamical systems with uncertain and varying time delays is presented in this paper. The uncertain time delay is assumed to fall in a range with known upper and lower ...

Abstract: Transverse impact response of a linear elastic Kevlar® KM2 fiber yarn was determined at various striking speeds from Hopkinson bar and gas gun experiments incorporated with high-speed ...

Abstract: Recent earthquakes have caused much damage to newly developed urban areas in various new patterns. Also, the patterns of earthquakes' influences on citizens and society have been changing rapidly. The methods for disaster ...

Abstract: The erosion of elbows in shale gas-gathering pipelines is influenced by both internal tensile stress and solid particle erosion. However, scholarly attention to the occurrence of elbow erosion in such pipelines under stress ...

Abstract: Three sets of low solidity steam turbine nozzle cascades were designed and tested. The objective was to reduce cost through a reduction in parts count while maintaining or improving performance. ...
