Abstract: Characteristics of errors which might occur in the straightness measurement method due to sequential-two-points were investigated. The investigation made it clear that the slight discrepancies of ...

Abstract: Applying free streamline theory and singularity method, a theoretical study is developed for the torsional flutter problem in fully stalled cascade. Aerodynamic moment acting on a vibrating blade ...

Abstract: Continuously variable automatic transmissions can bring improved fuel economy benefits under good speed ratio changes for automobile propulsion systems in which engines can produce their power ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic instability of a long-span suspension bridge with a shallow streamlined box girder is a serious engineering concern, particularly during the early deck erection stage. Its characteristics are significantly ...

Abstract: The global (or total) and diffuse solar irradiation data are not always available in many areas of the world and they have to be estimated using some sort of empirical models. This paper ...

Abstract: Tube arrays in cross flow start to vibrate abruptly when the flow reaches at a certain velocity. The threshold flow velocity depends upon the geometrical arrangement of tubes. It is very ...

Abstract: The Adhesive-Applied Roofing System (AARS) is a new generation of built-up roofs gaining popularity in North American low-slope application. AARS uses no fasteners, and all components (e.g., steel deck, vapor barrier, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method to calculate the critical flow velocity of fluidelastic vibration of tube arrays in heat exchangers. The method is based upon the modal analysis technique, which ...
