Abstract: The dynamics of valve train is influenced by stiffness, size, and mass distribution of its components and initial valve clearance and so on. All the factors should be taken into consideration correctly by dynamic model and ...

Abstract: The engine vibration and noise induced by a valve train element are analyzed through the modeling and experiment method. The valve train dynamics are first studied to make clear the sources of the valve train noise. The ...

Abstract: Development of high bending stresses due to a sudden gust of wind is a significant cause for the failure of wind turbine blades. Self-healing provides a fool proof safety measure against catastrophic failure by healing the ...

Abstract: The capacity of the power grid in China is increasing rapidly. Because of the reliability of the multi-infeed direct current (DC) system in the grid, power-system damping is relatively weak. Realizing isolated island ...
