Abstract: This interview of D. Hugh Taylor by Mel Hensey addresses four financial issues that engineering managers must understand and address through their accounting staff to collaboratively provide for effective financial management of their consulting...

Abstract: The basic equations of a model of Greenwood and Tripp for contact of rough elastic spheres are discussed using analysis approximation techniques.

Abstract: Data from a surface hot-film array on the outlet stator of a 1.5-stage axial compressor are analyzed to look for direct evidence of natural transition phenomena. An algorithm is developed to ...

Abstract: A closed-form of Reynolds equation is found for non-Newtonian inelastic fluids with a general constitutive equation by assuming that Couette flow dominates Pouiseuille flow. The roughness effects ...

Abstract: Wake-induced laminar-turbulent transition is studied at the leading edge of a C4-section compressor stator blade in a 1.5-stage axial compressor. Surface hot-film sensor observations are interpreted ...

Abstract: The influence of free-stream turbulence on wake dispersion and boundary layer transition processes has been studied in a 1.5-stage axial compressor. An inlet grid was used to produce turbulence ...

Abstract: Periodic wake-induced transition on the outlet stator of a 1.5-stage axial compressor is examined using hot-film arrays on both the suction and pressure surfaces. The time-mean surface pressure ...

Abstract: Transition onset observations from a 1.5-stage axial compressor outlet stator presented in Part I of this paper are compared with the predictions of conventional transition correlations applied ...

Abstract: The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has been investigated in the past few years as a means to rehabilitate aging concrete structures. The detection of disbonds and delaminations between CFRP laminate ...
