Abstract: The use of tire tests for fiber characterization in research programs aimed at the development of improved tire yarns is discussed. Examples are included to demonstrate some of the factors ...

Abstract: A series of one-dimensional studies is presented to reveal basic aspects of momentum and energy transfer to plates in air blasts. Intense air waves are initiated as either an isolated propagating ...

Abstract: In order to assist in the understanding of high speed flutter, a series of tests has been conducted on a research fan in which the blade surface pressures have been measured by means of ...

Abstract: A zonal-wind configuration in which wind speed is proportional to pressure-altitude and stability is proportional to the square of the density is posed. A solution to the eigenvalue problem governing the stability of this ...

Abstract: Intraseasonal variations in the Southern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation have been examined through the application of a 10?50?day bandpass filter to daily ECMWF analyses for 1980?88. Variations on this time scale ...

Abstract: Klaus Juergen Weinmann, a consummate engineering educator, respected colleague, loyal friend, devoted family man, and professor emeritus of Mechanical Engineering–Engineering Mechanics (MEEM) at ...
