Abstract: In the current paper, the stress distribution in adhesive‐bonded tubular lap joints with tapered adherends subjected to torsion is analyzed. The two tubular adherends may have different thicknesses and consist of different ...

Abstract: Endwall total pressure losses downstream of a low-speed turbine cascade have been measured at several planes in order to determine the changes in secondary flow loss coefficients and the growth ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization procedure for the design of 2D, geometrical, nonlinear steel-framed structures. The approach presented uses GAs as a tool to achieve discrete nonlinear ...

Abstract: A real-time CNC tool path generation algorithm has been developed for machining IGES surfaces. IGES-based CAD data files can be directly inputted to the CNC system and the tool paths generated ...

Abstract: In this paper we describe a new tracking control law for multijoint flexible-link manipulators. The scheme is a synthesis of the inverse dynamics solution for flexible manipulators developed by ...

Abstract: The cause of cavitation in mechanical heart valves is investigated with Medtronic Hall tilting disk valves in an in vitro flow system simulating the closing event in the mitral position. ...

Abstract: This paper deals with experimental investigation and numerical modeling of drying effects on the mechanical behavior of cement-based materials. First, the main results from an experimental study on the mechanical behavior ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation has been carried out to verify the validity of the use of the random decrement technique to determine the damping coefficients for a circular cylinder oscillating ...

Abstract: The authors have developed the analytical geometry of face-gear drives, proposed the method for localization of bearing contact, developed computerized simulation of meshing and bearing contact, ...

Abstract: For suppression of vibration of structures modeled by a spring-mass system, we propose an innovative vibration absorber comprising a hanging heavy column attached to the mass by a pinned joint with an elastic rotational ...
