Abstract: In order to minimize emissions the Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) of a spark-ignited internal combustion engine needs to be maintained at stoichiometric. Whenever the air and fuel enter the engine’s ...

Abstract: An efficient procedure employing the first-order reliability method (FORM) is proposed to evaluate the reliability of engineering systems governed by multiple limit state functions that are correlated due to the correlation ...

Abstract: Dispersion of an elastic wave propagating in a 76.2-mm-diameter (3 in.) Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system was investigated with two consecutive pulses recorded in the transmitter bar. Assuming ...
