Abstract: In this paper, results of experimental rotordynamic evaluations of a novel, high load chambered porous damper design are presented. The chambered porous damper concept was evaluated for gas ...

Abstract: Semidefinite programming (SDP) provides a convenient framework for the solution of optimization problems involving the eigenvalues of symmetric matrices. The classical Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion for an isotropic ...

Abstract: Interactions between zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) antiwear additive and commercial calcium sulfonate detergent are studied using a plane/plane contact configuration friction machine lubricated under ...

Abstract: Different continuous‐time approaches have been proposed in recent years to formulate active control algorithms to reduce the response of civil engineering structures under dynamic excitations. In this paper, a general ...

Abstract: This paper presents the premixed conditional moment closure (CMC) method as a new tool for modeling turbulent premixed combustion with detailed chemistry. By using conditional averages the CMC ...

Abstract: Tsunami waves are often very energetic and therefore pose a significant threat to coastal structures. However, most coastal defenses such as detached breakwaters are designed to protect against storm waves, with the ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the improvement of adhesion, abrasion resistance, and aging of polyurethane coatings made with polycarbonate diol (PCD) intended for internal pipelines. The influence of the polyol nature on the ...
