Abstract: This paper analyzes the motions of a catamaran advancing at a constant speed in arbitrary heading waves. The mathematical expressions of the hydrodynamic coefficients and exciting forces are ...

Abstract: A combined time-frequency domain method is proposed to analyze the stresses of barge-jacket assembly during transportation. Starting with the motion of analysis in frequency domain, the time ...

Abstract: Continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is considered as a general method to treat the progressive deterioration of materials and structures in the framework of continuum mechanics. The damage-coupled ...

Abstract: We examine the exergy balance of a multi-component fluid subject to viscous dissipation processes, heat transfer by conduction, heat transfer by radiation, matter diffusion and chemical reactions. ...

Abstract: A technology for non-intrusive real-time structural health monitoring using piezoelectric active sensors is presented. The approach is based on monitoring variations of the coupled electromechanical ...

Abstract: This paper addresses optical-based techniques for measuring soot particulate loading in the exhaust stream of gas turbine engines. The multi-angle scattering and multi-wavelength extinction of light ...
