Abstract: The analytical and experimental investigations reported here deal with the natural frequencies and system behavior of a full journal bearing subjected to a small sinusoidal load superimposed on ...

Abstract: The cold expansion technique is often used to introduce beneficial compressive stress at fastener holes, and can be used for remedial work where cracks already exist. In this paper, results are presented showing the effect ...

Abstract: The impact and fatigue resistance of overlay coatings is significantly influenced by the residual strain (or stress) field induced during coating deposition, post-treatment, and in-service loading. ...

Abstract: Surface damage in polyethylene components for total joint replacement is associated with large contact stresses. An elasticity solution and finite element analyses were used to determine the ...

Abstract: Application of electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is described to measure the spatial variation in monotonic tensile stress-strain properties along “cross-weld” specimens machined from ...

Abstract: This paper describes the economically optimal adoption and operation of distributed energy resources (DER) by a hypothetical California microgrid
