Abstract: To be able to model industrial products in conceptual design, aspects such as function, structure, shape, behavior, sustainability and service are typically considered. Tools developed until now ...

Abstract: The paper deals with a dynamic analysis of a non-contacting seal with two flexibly mounted rotating rings. The kinematics of motion is described and the equations of dynamics derived. Hydromechanical ...

Abstract: A new dextrous spherical wrist is presented here. The wrist is based upon a kinematically overconstrained and singularity-free pointing system. The pointing system and wrist are less mechanically ...

Abstract: A stochastic optimal guaranteed estimation problem for dynamic delayed systems with uncertain statistics is considered. The solution of this problem reduces to a complex nonsmooth extremal problem. ...

Abstract: In earlier work, a novel open absorption cycle was proposed, capable of producing both cooling and dehumidification for air conditioning, utilizing low-grade heat. The system, referred to as DER ...

Abstract: Polymer/ceramic composite emerges as a novel material system for application as integral capacitors for the next generation of microelectronic industry where the discrete passive components such ...

Abstract: The application of pneumatic metrology to control dimensional accuracy on machined parts is based on the measurement of gas flow resistance through a restricted section formed by a jet orifice ...

Abstract: Structural synthesis of kinematic chains usually involves the creation of a complete list of kinematic chains, followed by a isomorphism test to discard duplicate chains. A significant unsolved ...

Abstract: Erosion geometry effects on the mode I stress intensity factor (SIF) for a crack emanating from an erosion’s deepest point in a multiply eroded, autofrettaged, pressurized, thick-walled cylinder ...
