Abstract: The control of the tip vortex, generated by a rectangular NACA 0012 wing, via tipmounted halfdelta wings (HDWs), of different slendernesses خ›, root chords cr, and deflections خ´, was investigated experimentally at ...

Abstract: The elastic solution for a singularity in an anisotropic trimaterial with perfectly bonded interfaces was obtained in the previous work by Choi and Earmme. The term “trimaterial” denotes an infinite body composed of three ...

Abstract: Accurate assessments of rebound velocity of a projectile in impact events for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are important since the rebound velocity affects the degree of resultant impact damage in both CMC targets and ...

Abstract: Life-limiting behavior of a melt-infiltrated (MI) silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix (SiC/SiC) ceramic matrix composite (CMC) was determined under interlaminar shear at 1316 °C in air using double-notch-shear ...

Abstract: Erosion behavior of a large number of gas-turbine grade ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) was assessed using fine to medium grain garnet erodents at velocities of 200 and 300 m/s at ambient temperature. The CMCs used in the ...

Abstract: Erosion phenomenon of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), attributed to their unique architectural configurations, is markedly different from conventional monolithic ceramic counterparts. Prior to further integration of CMCs ...

Abstract: n this paper, the prediction skills of five ensemble methods for temperature and precipitation are discussed by considering 20 yr of simulation results (from 1989 to 2008) for four regional climate models (RCMs) driven by ...

Abstract: Extended dry storage of spent nuclear fuel makes it desirable to assess the structural integrity of the storage canisters. Stress corrosion cracking of the stainless steel canister is a potential degradation mode especially ...
