Abstract: A hydromechanical transmission (HMT) is a continuously variable transmission that transmits power both mechanically and hydraulically. A typical HMT consists of a pair of hydraulic pump/motors and a mechanical transmission ...

Abstract: Modeling of steady-state thermal conduction for crack and v-notch in anisotropic material remains challenging. Conventional numerical methods could bring significant error and the analytical solution should be used to ...

Abstract: This work examines the traditional and advanced trimming of AA6111T4 aluminum sheets with finite element simulations. The RiceTracy damage model is used for the simulation with damage parameters estimated from experimental ...

Abstract: The necking behavior of cladding sheets with a ratesensitive layer cladding on a rateinsensitive core material has been studied. A nonlinear longwavelength analysis, similar to the one proposed by Hutchinson and Neale ...

Abstract: Edge chipping is one of the most serious issues during machining process of brittle materials. To find an effective method to reduce edge chipping, the relationship between the distribution of maximum principal stress and ...

Abstract: With the rapid expansion of the high-speed railway (HSR) network in China, some new lines must be constructed near or across existing HSRs, which will likely have an effect on the operational safety of the HSRs. The existing ...

Abstract: Animal models offer a flexible experimental environment for studying atherosclerosis. The mouse is the most commonly used animal, however, the underlying hemodynamics in larger animals such as the rabbit are far closer to ...
