Abstract: This paper presents a biomechanical evaluation of whiplash injury potential during the initial extension motion of the head in a rear-end collision. A four-segment dynamic model is developed in ...

Abstract: Natural convection heat transfer coefficients for a rectangular array of eight tubes contained in a thin enclosure of aspect ratio 9.3:1 and inclined at 30 deg to the horizontal are measured ...

Abstract: Natural convection is measured in an enclosure that represents an integral collector storage system (ICS) with an immersed tube-bundle heat exchanger. Heat transfer coefficients for bundles of ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of grinding temperatures are used to estimate the energy partition to the workpiece. In the present investigation, three different temperature measuring techniques are ...

Abstract: An investigation is reported on high speed grinding of silicon nitride using electroplated single-layer diamond wheels. This article is concerned with wheel wear and wheel life, and a second ...

Abstract: This is the second in a series of two papers concerned with high speed grinding of silicon nitride with electroplated diamond wheels. In the first article (ASME J. Manuf. Sci. Eng., 122 , ...

Abstract: It has been shown that piezoelectric materials can be used as passive electromechanical vibration absorbers by shunting them with electrical networks. Semi-active piezoelectric absorbers have also ...

Abstract: In Part 1 of the paper, a new high-performance active-passive hybrid piezoelectric absorber concept was presented. This design is an attractive alternative to semi-active absorbers for the purpose ...
