Abstract: The processes of tribofilm formation and disruption and the predominant tribo-mechanisms of unlubricated ceramic materials were investigated experimentally. Sliding experiments in humidity controlled ...

Abstract: This paper describes an efficient procedure to rectify circuit defects in rocker-crank and double-rocker at the synthesis level based on the angular joint displacements. This method complements ...

Abstract: Unit operation (UO) systems have proliferated to sequester urban drainage particulate matter (PM) and PM-bound constituents. PM has been a primary focus of testing and certification. A nominal class of UOs, hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Through a detailed control assessment of a conventional railway wheelset, this paper addresses some of the key design issues in the development of active primary suspensions for the stabilization ...

Abstract: Numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer during the cooling of electronic modules mounted on printed circuit boards are performed to examine the feasibility of a proposed double ...

Abstract: Daylighting is an important issue in modern architecture that has been characterized by the use of curtain walls in buildings. Nonovercast skies, including clear and partly cloudy days, are ...

Abstract: The wave rotor combustor can significantly improve gas turbine engine performance by implementing constant-volume combustion. The periodically open and closed combustor complicates thermodynamic ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach wherein product design is viewed as a selection process with two main stages: design alternative generation and design alternative evaluation. The focus of this ...

Abstract: Unit operations (UO) for urban water clarification are commonly implemented for management of particulate matter (PM), PM-associated chemicals, and microbial species, primarily through sedimentation. In this study, an ...

Abstract: The hurricane hazard modeling requires a hurricane wind field model and a hurricane track model, that are generally developed based on historical wind speed and track records. Several hurricane hazard models have been ...
