Abstract: For automatic detection and diagnosis of localized defects in rolling element bearings, bicoherence spectra are used to derive features that signify the condition of a bearing. These features ...

Abstract: A mathematical programming solution based on finite element method is used to analyze wall slip of viscoplastic lubrication in a metal-rolling inlet zone. Slip velocity can be directly obtained ...

Abstract: Recently, microneedles (or microneedle arrays) for transdermal drug delivery have received increasing attention because they can provide painless, minimal invasiveness and time-released drug delivery. ...

Abstract: The classical Reynolds theory reveals that a converging gap is the first necessary condition to generate a hydrodynamic pressure in a viscous fluid film confined between two solid surfaces with ...

Abstract: A cartilage growth mixture (CGM) model is proposed to address limitations of a model used in a previous study. New stress constitutive equations for the solid matrix are derived and collagen ...
