Abstract: In this study the stress intensity factors for a three-dimensional crack perpendicular to and terminating at a bimaterial interface are calculated. It is assumed that the crack is pressurized ...

Abstract: In this investigation, three materials and several surface finishes on cylinder walls were compared in laboratory tests that simulate the running-in behavior of fired engines. The three materials ...

Abstract: A solution for an elastic quarter plane containing an arbitrarily oriented crack is presented. The problem is formulated by means of Mellin integral transforms and reduced to a system of two ...

Abstract: Characteristic requirements of a closed-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) working fluid were identified and the effects of their thermodynamic and transport properties on the CCGT cycle performance, required ...

Abstract: Increasing interest has focused on applying active control systems to civil engineering structures subjected to dynamic loading. This study presents an active pulse control algorithm, termed the adaptive neural structural ...
