Abstract: The geometric characteristics of nine representative Multifacet Drills (MFD’s) are summarized. Mathematical models of the various component surfaces are derived and analyzed using coordinate ...

Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear governing equations of motion for viscoelastic moving belt are established by using the generalized Hamilton’s principle for the first time. Two kinds of viscoelastic ...

Abstract: The position of the bristles within a brush seal is dictated by the pressure distribution within the seal, which is itself influenced by the position of the bristle matrix. In order to predict ...

Abstract: A five times scale model of an engine brush seal has been manufactured. The bristle stiffness and pressure were chosen to satisfy close similarity of the relevant non-dimensional parameters, ...
