The Application of Different Tripping Techniques to Determine the Characteristics of the Turbulent Boundary Layer Over a Flat Plate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present study, the optimal two-dimensional (2D) tripping technique for inducing a naturally fully developed turbulent boundary layer in wind tunnels has been investigated. Various tripping techniques were tested, ...
Stiffness Analysis and Control of a Stewart Platform Based Manipulator With Decoupled Sensor–Actuator Locations for Ultrahigh Accuracy Positioning Under Large External Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robot frame compliance has a large negative effect on the global accuracy of the system when large external forces/torques are exerted. This phenomenon is particularly problematic in applications where the robot is required ...
Energy Concentration by Bluff Bodies—A Particle Image Velocimetry Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) of four cylinders with different cross sections were performed in a recirculating water channel at Reynolds numbers of 5000 and 10,000. The cylinders were split into two distinct categories; ...
Condition Assessment of Water Pipelines Using a Modified Layer-Peeling Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pipe wall condition assessment is critical for targeted maintenance and failure prevention in water distribution systems. This paper proposes a novel approach for condition assessment of water pipelines by adapting the ...
