Abstract: This paper reports on a method developed for predicting the fretting wear-fatigue of an aero-engine’s involute spline couplings, including finite-element analysis, method development, and model prediction. The contact ...

Abstract: An air parcel model including homogeneous freezing nucleation of ice crystals has been used to study the formation and development of cirrus clouds. In situ measurements taken during March 1994 over southern Germany were ...

Abstract: An air parcel model has been used to study dynamic influences on cirrus cloud microphysical processes. Representative data selected from a measurement campaign carried out over southern Germany during March 1994 were used ...
