Abstract: In the finite element method with the incremental procedure based on the flow theory of plasticity, which is now widely employed, a great amount of load increments and specially trained analysts ...

Abstract: Experiments on a transmission error caused by production errors in polychloroprene rubber timing belts were performed under a quasistatic condition and an initial tension. The experimental results ...

Abstract: This paper relates to the properties of the surface of contact or the line of contact on a new plane toothed wheel which is inclined properly to the axis of the wheel and on its enveloping ...

Abstract: A new helical timing belt has been developed to reduce noise. In the present study, three belts, each having a curvilinear tooth profile and helix angles of 3 deg, 5 deg and 10 deg, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a solar water heater using supercritical carbon dioxide as working fluid is proposed and experimentally studied. For supercritical carbon dioxide, a small change in temperature ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with round-robin analyses of probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) problems of aged RPV material. Analyzed here is a plate with a semi-elliptical surface crack subjected ...
