Abstract: Acoustoelasticity has recently been used for the nondestructive evaluation of residual stresses. In making such measurements the assumption has been made that the plastic flow leading to the ...

Abstract: Computer calculations have been made of how real-gas effects modify the conventional one-dimensional equations for mass flow of air, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, helium, and steam through ...

Abstract: The mass flow rate of methane and 19 natural gas mixtures through critical flow nozzles has been calculated. The calculation assumes the flow to be one-dimensional and isentropic. The pressure ...

Abstract: This paper presents and illustrates a graphical technique for the control of calculations in the procedure of optimum mechanical design. This three-dimensional variation diagram technique minimizes ...

Abstract: Estimates of the effective second-order and third-order elastic constants of a polycrystalline aggregate exhibiting texture are presented for the case of orthotropic sample symmetry and cubic ...

Abstract: Paper describes a method of optimum design (MOD) having many practical applications, particularly in mechanical engineering design. Topics covered for this MOD include its evolution, the basic ...

Abstract: A strategy of motion synthesis is developed for reducing critical forces in relatively rigid high-speed spring-loaded cam mechanisms. A special motion is specifically presented to illustrate ...
