Abstract: Based on an examination of the characteristics of shear viscosity versus shear rate, it was postulated that high tensile and compressive stresses might exist in certain liquids at very high ...

Abstract: In this study, a stability concept in terms of the properties of an effective force field is introduced. A criterion for determining certain infinitesimal disturbances which may amplify with ...

Abstract: The Southwell method for the prediction of buckling loads is applied to results obtained from tests of two 16-in-dia Type 304 stainless steel elbows loaded by an in-plane closing bending moment ...

Abstract: Numerical results based on the STAGSC-1 finite element computer program are presented for the geometrically nonlinear behavior of cylindrical shells subjected to inward-directed radial point loads. ...

Abstract: The physical laws that govern fluid motions are examined to gain justification for the grouping of physical variables that we call Reynolds number. First, a perfect incompressible viscous fluid ...

Abstract: The step-thrust self-acting gas bearing was investigated for an application where equal load support was required for both directions of rotation. A method of computer analysis by James and ...
