Abstract: An in-vivo experimental method was developed to measure the stress-strain relationship of a spinal cord segment of anesthetized puppies. A pseudo Young’s modulus was defined for the linear region ...

Abstract: Pitch curves of a conjugate noncircular gear pair are derived based on kinematic considerations. A method for considering the inverse mechanism relationship and the equation of meshing, is ...

Abstract: An in-vivo experimental technique was employed to determine the linear and nonlinear characteristics of viscoelastic properties of the spinal cord of anesthetized cats. The stress relaxation and ...

Abstract: A hobbing machine’s cutting mechanism is a mechanism with multi-degree of freedom during the cutting process. In this paper, we propose a general gear mathematical model simulating the generation ...

Abstract: A mathematical model of a modified helical gear train (MHGT), manufactured with a practical hobbing machine using a curved-template guide, and which takes considerations of center-distance variation ...

Abstract: ddy?mean flow decomposition is crucial to the estimation of Lagrangian diffusivity based on drifter data. Previous studies have shown that inhomogeneous mean flow induces shear dispersion that increases the estimated ...

Abstract: AbstractThe present study reconciles theoretical differences between the Lagrangian diffusivity and effective diffusivity in a transformed spatial coordinate based on the contours of a quasi-conservative tracer. In the ...

Abstract: The chin bar of a motorcycle helmet protects the rider from facial and head injuries. To evaluate the protective performance of chin bars against head injuries from facial impacts, an explicit ...

Abstract: The bridge network, as part of the critical civil infrastructure, is susceptible to natural and man-made hazards. It is essential that the network retains its traffic-carrying capacity after a disastrous earthquake to ...
