Abstract: In general, it is not possible to obtain total motion absorption of a certain degree of freedom in a harmonically excited damped system by passive control. This paper presents a method of ...

Abstract: The motion of a particular degree-of-freedom in a harmonically excited conservative system can be vanished by attaching an appropriate dynamic absorber to it. It is shown here that under certain ...

Abstract: This experimental study evaluated the combustion and performance characteristics of a 100% dimethyl ether (DME)-fueled multicylinder compression ignition engine equipped with a customized mechanical fuel injection system. ...

Abstract: Control of the vibrating structures is desirable in various engineering applications for preventing fatigue and failure. It can be achieved by passive means using dynamic absorbers or by active ...

Abstract: The main objective of this investigation is the evaluation of the performance of hard diamond-like-carbon (DLC) or tungsten carbide (WC) and soft (epoxy composite) dual-coatings on the internal combustion (IC) engine piston ...

Abstract: A spray study is essential to understand the combustion and emissions from internal combustion engines (ICEs). It supports engine performance optimization and tailpipe emission reduction. The characteristics of the fuel ...

Abstract: Miscibility of methanol in mineral diesel and stability of methanol–diesel blends are the main obstacles faced in the utilization of methanol in compression ignition engines. In this experimental study, combustion, ...

Abstract: Methanol fueled internal combustion (IC) engines have attracted significant attention due to their contributions in reducing environmental pollution and fossil fuel consumption. In this study, a single-cylinder research ...
