Abstract: Local hot spots can occur in some pressure vessels and piping systems used in industrial processes. The hot spots could be a result of, for instance, localized loss of refractory lining on ...

Abstract: Waterjet peening is a recent promising method in surface treatment. It has the potential to induce compressive residual stresses that benefit the fatigue life of materials similar to the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the transient flow, on pump shut-down, in abrasive suspension jet cutting machines as part of an effort to develop a fine-beam cutting system. The analysis ...

Abstract: The conventional method of fracture probability calculations such as that adopted by the NRC-sponsored PRAISE CODE and the FAVOR CODE developed in this laboratory are both based on Monte Carlo ...

Abstract: In many applications such as computers and telecommunications, the IC chip sizes are very big, the on-chip frequency and power dissipation are very high, and the number of chip I/Os is very ...

Abstract: This paper presents a perspective on the work of Dr. J. W. Lund, in the field of rotor-bearing dynamics. It traces his most influential work in published journals, software, data published ...

Abstract: This paper presents a parameterization and an interpolation method for quintic splines, which result in a smooth and consistent feed rate profile. The discrepancy between the spline parameter ...

Abstract: To meet the ever-increasing magnetic recording density, the hard disk industry is focusing on reducing flying height. Texturing the slider surface to reduce the head–disk contact area is one ...
