Abstract: A series of recent papers have modified the classical variational phase field fracture models to successfully predict both the nucleation and propagation of cracks in brittle fracture under general loading conditions. This ...

Abstract: While previous research has assessed the validity of the OptoGait system to the GAITRite walkway and an instrumented treadmill, no research to date has assessed this system against a traditional three-dimensional motion ...

Abstract: Accelerated weathering tests are commonly carried out to evaluate the resistance of porous materials to the damage induced by salt crystallization. A wide range of testing procedures have been prescribed by various standards ...

Abstract: The theoretical control of low-speed maneuvering of small underwater vehicles in the dive plane using dorsal and caudal fin-based control surfaces is considered. The two dorsal fins are long ...

Abstract: In the dynamic era of advanced manufacturing technology, laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) have gained popularity in different domains due to its capability to build parts from bulk to miniature size with higher efficiency ...

Abstract: The objective of this investigation was to study the effect of axially staged injection of methane in the vitiated air cross flow in a two stage combustion chamber on the formation of NOX ...
