Abstract: The mode interactions and the sound transmission loss across the expansion chambers with and without tapered sections are studied by the finite element method in the present investigation. Results ...

Abstract: An investigation of the noise generation mechanism of turbulent structures in a subsonic air jet has been done theoretically as well as experimentally. Based on the results obtained, it is ...

Abstract: Orienting the workpiece in such a way as to minimize the number of setups in a 4-axis or a 5-axis Numerical Control (NC) machine is formulated as follows: Given a set of spherical polygons ...

Abstract: Model tests and theoretical analysis were done to investigate the arching in embankments on soft ground supported by piles with cap beams and geo‐textiles. The cap‐beam‐and‐geotextile combination may alleviate the uneven ...

Abstract: This paper presents an advanced plastic hinge analysis method that can be used to assess the performance of steel structures exposed to fire. The main feature of the analysis is to use as few elements as possible to model ...

Abstract: The Gaussian map and its allied visibility map on a unit sphere find wide applications for orientating the workpiece for machining by numerical control machines and for probing by coordinate ...
