Abstract: This study presents local temperature and heat transfer coefficient distributions obtained experimentally on the internal surfaces of a rotating pin-finned brake rotor at realistic rotation speeds for braking (i.e., ...

Abstract: Thermal pain arising from the teeth is unlike that arising from anywhere else in the body. The source of this peculiarity is a longstanding mystery that has begun to unravel with recent experimental measurements and, ...

Abstract: A combined theoretical and numerical study is carried out to quantify the influence of material properties (e.g., real part and loss factor of Young’s modulus, material density) and geometrical parameters (e.g., layer ...

Abstract: Pain sensation induced by kidney stone (renal calculi) in ureter, a kind of visceral ducts connecting the kidneys and bladder, critically depends upon the relative size of stone to ureter. To quantify such pain sensation, ...

Abstract: Neumann's solution has been perceived to be inapplicable for the Stefan problem when Rayleigh–Bénard (R–B) convection exists. Yet, this article challenges this perception by demonstrating the applicability of Neumann's ...

Abstract: The wakes shed alternatively from two long stationary side-by-side cylinders have long been an issue in many engineering applications, such as wind energy harvesting schemes that utilize vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). ...

Abstract: This study presents, for the first time, distributions of local internal temperature and convective heat transfer in a rotating radial vane brake disk and explains mechanisms in conjunction with secondary flows and flow ...

Abstract: The energy adsorption properties of all-metallic corrugated sandwich cylindrical shells (CSCSs) subjected to axial compression loading were investigated by the method combining experiments, finite element (FE) simulations, ...

Abstract: Thermofluidic behaviors governing the enhanced cooling performance of the wire-woven-bulk diamond (WBD) cored brake disc in comparison with the conventional pin-finned brake disc used on heavy vehicles were characterized ...

Abstract: The displacement of relatively rigid beads within a relatively compliant, elastic matrix can be used to measure the mechanical properties of the matrix. For example, in mechanobiological studies, magnetic or reflective ...
