Abstract: The paper presents design analyses of ship steering gear control systems. Emphasis is placed on compressibility, leakage, friction, hydrodynamic damping, limiter and relay aspects of systems design. ...

Abstract: Considering the effects of oil compressibility, leakage, hydrodynamic damping and friction, in addition to other nonlinearities, such as bang-bang relay, pump saturation and limiters of oil pressure ...

Abstract: The strain growth phenomenon is an unsolved fundamental problem in the dynamic elastic response of containment vessels subjected to internal blast loading, which may seriously influence the design of multiple-use containment ...

Abstract: Erosion-corrosion failures frequently found in piping systems can lead to the leakage of pipes, or even damage of the whole system. Erosion-corrosion is a form of material degradation that ...

Abstract: Strain growth is a phenomenon observed in the elastic response of containment vessels subjected to internal blast loading. The local dynamic response of a containment vessel may become larger ...

Abstract: Micro-electromechanical systems and nano-electromechanical systems have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. The flow and heat transfer behaviors of micromachines for separation ...
