Abstract: The implementation on a personal computer of three‐dimensional terrain modeling based on B‐splines is described. Such models are useful for initial route location studies in highway planning and design. The model described ...

Abstract: In this paper, results of experimental rotordynamic evaluations of a novel, high load chambered porous damper design are presented. The chambered porous damper concept was evaluated for gas ...

Abstract: In this paper a novel, high-load chambered porous damper design, supporting analysis, and experimental results are presented. It was demonstrated that significant damping can be generated from ...

Abstract: An accepted approach in conforming to the design standards for modern highways is to use a combination of arcs of circles and segments of clothoid spirals. The design of a horizontal alignment for a highway centerline can ...

Abstract: To meet the advanced bearing needs of modern turbomachinery, a hybrid foil-magnetic hybrid bearing system was designed, fabricated, and tested in a test rig designed to simulate the rotor ...
