Abstract: Two new 14-step and 16-step reduced mechanisms for methane-air combustion were systematically developed by assuming the quasisteady state for 26–28 species in the starting mechanism. A series of ...

Abstract: A theoretical simulation study was performed to study how surface roughness of the workpiece and datum can affect the locating precision of multiple station manufacturing processes using a ...

Abstract: This study has identified useful reduced kinetic schemes that can be used in comprehensive multidimensional gas-turbine combustor models. Reduced mechanisms lessen computational cost and possess ...

Abstract: Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general ...

Abstract: This paper describes recent development of iso-octane skeletal and reduced mechanisms for speeding up numerical simulations of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. A novel targeted ...

Abstract: An automatic subincrementing technique for numerical integration of viscoplastic constitutive rate equations is investigated for finite element analysis. The technique has two major features: estimate of error and determination ...

Abstract: A systematic approach is proposed to derive the governing equations and boundary conditions for strain gradient plasticity in plane-stress deformation. The displacements, strains, stresses, strain ...

Abstract: Mechanical means of positioning are frequently used in mechanical assembly processes. However, very little attention has been paid to the proper design and selection of mechanical alignment systems ...

Abstract: This study aims at developing an optical measurement instrument to implement a diffuse optical imaging system that is incorporated with the X-ray mammogram for the purpose of obtaining functional ...
