Abstract: Thermally activated mechanisms of dislocation motion and interaction account for the dependence of stress on strain, temperature, and time during plastic deformation. Much of the recent activity ...

Abstract: Bounds are established on the errors associated with elastic-plastic strain wave measurements involving finite gage lengths. Attention is restricted to the case of one-dimensional wave propagation ...

Abstract: The overall design of high-pressure centrifugal compressors is largely influenced by rotordynamic aspects. Rotor instability may restrict operating speed and/or maximum discharge pressure if the ...

Abstract: Using rational motions it is possible to apply many fundamental B-spline techniques to the design of motions. The present paper summarizes the basic theory of rational motions and introduces a ...

Abstract: The plastic inversion of a simply supported conical shell is considered. The shell is loaded through a rigid central collar. The material is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic and to obey ...

Abstract: The definitions of the symbols of Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 were missing:

Abstract: The transient liquid crystal technique is currently widely used for measuring the heat transfer characteristics in gas turbine applications. Usually, the assumption is made that the wall of the ...

Abstract: AbstractWhile radiosondes have provided atmospheric scientists an accurate high-vertical-resolution profile of the troposphere for decades, they are unable to provide high-temporal-resolution observations without significant ...
