Abstract: Three formulas are derived for predicting the central and the minimum film thickness as well as the asperity load ratio in line-contact EHL with provision for surface roughness. These expressions ...

Abstract: The implementation of the mass-conservative cavitation algorithm, as derived by Elrod, requires an automatic setting of a binary switch function that delineates the full-film and cavitation zones. ...

Abstract: This paper studies the vapor biowaste electric propulsion systems and the impact of the evolving advance life support oxygen recovery cycles and subsystem trade-offs on the biowaste expendable ...

Abstract: A quasi-operational process for the determination of water vapor fields from METEPSAT-1 water vapor channel data is described. Each count of the WV picture is replaced by the corresponding mean relative humidity value using ...

Abstract: An existing computer code to solve a supersonic potential equation around three‐dimensional configurations was modified. Using a generalized boundary‐conforming coordinate system, a full potential equation in conservation ...

Abstract: A locking-assessment procedure for shear-deforming beam elements is proposed that is suitable for inelastic material behavior. By way of example, the procedure is used to motivate the formulation of a nonlocking element ...

Abstract: A new kind of frost-point hygrometer has been developed for horizontal soundings of the lower stratosphere. The cooling source, using the radiative cooling of a blackbody during the night, is able to cool the mirror down ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of the shear plane and the variations of the dynamic cutting coefficients are experimentally investigated at various values of feed, cutting speed, rake angle, clearance ...

Abstract: In high-risk industries, companies with well-conceived crisis management plans are at a commercial advantage. While there is some understanding of the risk management practices of construction companies, there is little ...

Abstract: This is an exceptionally entertaining and engaging book about freedom and evolution, with the subtitle hierarchy in nature, society, and science. In his new book, Adrian Bejan covers a wide range of topics such as ...
