Abstract: Noise from high-speed machine systems is an important engineering design problem. This study investigates a recently developed analytical technique for calculating the noise generated by linkage-type ...

Abstract: During the past 30 years, China has implemented structural and operational procedures to maximize sediment discharge from the impounded reaches of rivers, thereby reducing, arresting, or reversing reservoir sedimentation ...

Abstract: In China, where rivers draining loess soils have some of the highest sediment concentrations in the world, reservoir sedimentation is a serious problem that has been the subject of intensive investigation since 1957. This ...

Abstract: Current approaches to discrete model reference adaptive control (MRAC) [1–6] require the inverse of the discretized process model to achieve the desired model following. The objective of this ...

Abstract: The longitudinal coefficient of thermal expansion (α1 ) of unidirectional T300/934 and AS/3501-5A graphite/epoxy (Gr/Ep) composite changes within a thousand thermal cycles at ranges greater than ...

Abstract: Reduction of engine weight and engine specific fuel consumption is a continuing goa of jet engine designers. An attractive approach is through the development of efficient, high-tip speed ...

Abstract: A mixed landscape irrigation study was conducted on 27 residential sites in Las Vegas to quantify water savings associated with satellite irrigation controllers. Seventeen sites were equipped with evapotranspiration-based ...

Abstract: The companion article, “Generalised Cross-Correlation Functions, Part I,” introduced a generalization of cross-correlation in which the constant shift used in traditional cross-correlation is replaced ...

Abstract: A Spiral Computerized Tomography (CT) scan of the aorta were obtained from a single subject and three model variations were examined. Computational fluid dynamics modeling of all three models ...
