Abstract: In this paper, we describe the design and simulation of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) based stacked inductors, which provide high inductance and quality values that are suitable for ...

Abstract: The results of measurements showing large normal and frictional force oscillations during unlubricated smooth sliding between steel surfaces are presented. The measurements were made on a pin-on-disk ...

Abstract: Measurements of instantaneous normal and frictional forces have been made at smoothly sliding hemispherical steel contacts under nominally dry and boundary-lubricated conditions. Normalized contact ...

Abstract: Natural frequencies, mode shapes and critical buckling loads of marine risers simply supported at both ends are given in closed form by using the WKB method. These solutions allow variable ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic force coefficients prescribed in most codes and standards are an ensemble average of 10 or 20 10-min samples, which means that a fundamental uncertainty of 10-min samples cannot be properly considered. Thus, ...

Abstract: The nonlinear dynamics of long, slender cylinders for moderately large deformations are studied by projecting the solution along the set of eigenmodes of the linear problem. The resulting set ...

Abstract: The benefits of oxygen enhancement in conjunction with EGR on emissions were investigated in a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine. Cylinder pressure, NOx , and particulate were measured ...

Abstract: The effects of bottom friction on the estimation of breaking‐wave heights, breaking locations, and breaking angles, determined by using the RCPWAVE model, were examined. We used direct and a wave‐ray approaches to simulate ...

Abstract: The recent growth of magnetic bearing applications in the chemical, utility and aerospace industries requires more accurate design tools to insure reliable and effective operation as components ...
