Abstract: A strategy has been developed to model the three-dimensional unsteady flows through turbomachines subject to nonaxisymmetric flow/geometrical conditions such as low order distortions with relatively ...

Abstract: When subjected to strong sustained fluctuating wind uplift, screw-fastened light-gauge-steel profiled roofing sheets may fail locally in the vicinity of fasteners by cracking due to fatigue, resulting in the sheeting being ...

Abstract: Strong wind pressures can cause severe fatigue damage to the screw-fastened light gauge steel roofing of low-rise buildings. An approach to determine the fatigue loading of roof cladding is presented here. The rain-flow ...

Abstract: Wind-induced fatigue loading and damage to roof claddings on gable-roof and hip-roof buildings are investigated in this study through both wind tunnel tests and computer analyses. The magnitude and distribution of wind ...

Abstract: Trailing edge loss is one of the main sources of loss for transonic turbine blades, contributing typically 1/3 of their total loss. Transonic trailing edge flow is extremely complex, the basic ...

Abstract: Measurements of the effect of trailing edge geometry on the base pressure and loss of a family of four turbine cascades are presented. The measurements were made in the transonic range of ...

Abstract: This paper presents both free and forced vibration analyses of inclined cables, including the effects of cable sag, equipped with oil dampers in cable-stayed bridges by using a hybrid method recently developed by the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the applicability of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for identifying structural damage caused by a sudden change of structural stiffness. A three-story shear ...
