Abstract: In gas turbine engines, the temperature field at the exit plane of the combustor is highly unsteady and complex, with large radial and circumferential variations. The circumferential temperature variations (hot-streaks) ...

Abstract: Based on an experimental investigation carried out in a low-speed test facility at the Berlin University of Technology, this paper describes the formation of separation bubbles under steady and ...

Abstract: This paper considers the role the computer can have in less‐formalized phases of the structural design process, particularly during preliminary design. Since preliminary design is based largely on the designers experience, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes two sensible approaches that may be potentially implemented in practice to determine pricing strategies for operating managed toll lanes. The tolls vary dynamically in response to real-time traffic ...

Abstract: A new perturbation method is developed to solve any eigenvalue equation of the form

Abstract: Wind-induced internal pressure arising from door or window failure during severe wind conditions has been studied extensively. Most previous studies focus on the cases of openings in the wall, but little attention has been ...

Abstract: A novel strategy combining an extended state observer (ESO) and a backstepping sliding mode (BSM) controller is proposed for station-keeping of unstable collinear libration point orbits (LPOs) in the Sun-Earth/Moon system. ...

Abstract: Perturbation methods have been used for electromagnetic scattering and diffraction problems in recent years. A similar method suitable for low-frequency fluid-structure interaction problems is ...
