Abstract: The exact mathematical analogy exists between Newton’s law of cooling and Proposition II, Book II (The motion of bodies in resisting mediums) of the Principia. Several approaches for the proof ...

Abstract: The elastic field outside an ellipsoidal inclusion is investigated. No particular restrictions are imposed to eigenstrain distributions throughout the inclusion and to the anisotropy of elastic ...

Abstract: A technique for improving the numerical predictions of turbulent flows with the effect of streamline curvature is developed. Separated flows and the flow in a curved duct are examples of flow ...

Abstract: The quasi-static pressure characteristics of a gas-lubricated thrust bearing with shrouded Rayleigh-step pads are determined for a time-varying film thickness. The axial response of the thrust ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical and computer-aided procedure on the balancing of high-speed linkages. The method allows for the trade-offs necessary to achieve optimum dynamic response of the ...

Abstract: Polymer processing is increasingly important ever since the rapid growth of polymer applications in the past decade. In this paper, the computational aspects of modeling the polymer behavior ...

Abstract: The paper is an investigation of strip curvature caused by the different speeds between the upper work roll and the lower work roll in the rolling process for an aluminum strip. At the same ...

Abstract: A methodology to synthesize a predesignated acoustic response using a structure driven by multiple induced-strain actuators, e.g., piezoelectric (PZT) patches, is presented. The proposed approach ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a systematic method of designing a vibration absorber that affects vibration attenuation at multiple frequencies. This vibration absorber is a nonprismatic ...

Abstract: Reported investigations of facet articulation in the human spine have often been conducted through the insertion of pressure sensitive film into the joint space, which requires incision of the ...
