Abstract: Fabrics are an extremely important element of body armors and other armors. Understanding fabrics requires understanding how yarns deform. Classical theory has shown very good agreement with the ...

Abstract: Experiments were done on a 200-mm-dia open propeller behind a simulated ice blockage in a cavitation tunnel. The propeller performance in uniform flow and blocked flow is contrasted over a ...

Abstract: The influence of tilting disk valve orientation on pulsatile flow through a curved tube model of the human aorta was studied. Simultaneous, two-component laser Doppler velocimeter measurements ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of compressor generated inlet conditions on the air flow uniformity through lean burn fuel injectors. Any resulting nonuniformity in the injector flow field can ...

Abstract: The processes by which oil-material appears suspended in the water column or becomes deposited on the sea floor is conventionally attributed to its attachment to marine solid particles. Since the 2010 Gulf oil spill, a ...

Abstract: Numerical and analytical simulations of projectiles penetrating brittle materials such as ceramics and glasses are a very challenging problem. The difficulty comes from the fact that the yield ...

Abstract: Thrusters working at low advance coefficients are employed in a wide range of offshore and marine applications on Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) systems; shuttle tankers; ...
