Abstract: This paper presents a 3D mathematical model based on the finite-element method to simulate the structural response of steel and steel/concrete composite connections so that their moment-rotation-temperature characteristics ...

Abstract: In this study a procedure to obtain direct singular positions of a 3RPS parallel manipulator is presented. If the heights of three spherical joints, denoted by d1n,d2n, and d3n respectively, ...

Abstract: A boundary element technique has been developed to analyze interface cracks in a layered solid. The loading applied on the solid may be tension, compression, shear, or an arbitrary combination ...

Abstract: Measurements of velocity have been obtained in a centrifugal pump in terms of angle-resolved values in the impeller passages, the volute, the inlet and exit ducts and are presented in absolute ...

Abstract: The computational efficiency of four vectorizable implicit algorithms is assessed when applied to calculate steady-state solutions to the three-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in ...

Abstract: The objective of this research in this paper is to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the Hilbert–Huang transform method for diagnosing the looseness faults of rotating machinery. The ...
