Abstract: The mean-square response of a lightly damped, second-order system to a type of non-stationary random excitation is determined. The forcing function on the system is taken in the form of a ...

Abstract: The plane traction problem for a composite wedge formed from two identical orthotropic wedges is solved by use of the complex function representation of the plane solution for anisotropic ...

Abstract: The plane displacement and traction-displacement problems for anisotropic elastic wedges are solved by use of the complex function representation of the plane solution in conjunction with the ...

Abstract: The object of this study was to investigate flow distribution characteristics and control in the marine gas turbine diffusers most suitable for waste heat recovery systems. The major technical ...

Abstract: The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach is employed to simulate droplet trajectories due to the large-velocity gradient between two solid surfaces: a stationery block (slider) and a rotating plane (disk). ...

Abstract: A constructed wetland type natural treatment system was built in southern Taiwan for stream water purification and natural habitat creation. The system influent (influent rate =

Abstract: A constructive critique and a suite of proposed improvements for a recent one-dimensional semianalytical model of a direct methanol fuel cell are presented for the purpose of improving the ...

Abstract: The objective of this research was to understand the mechanism of dynamic replacement (DR) with the view of identifying the attributes needed to effectively implement it. This was achieved by analytically modeling DR of ...
