Abstract: A direct approach for elastic-plastic analysis and shakedown is presented and its application to a two-dimensional rolling contact problem is demonstrated. The direct approach consists of an ...

Abstract: Maintaining optimum circulation rates is important in aerated mud drilling operations. However, reliable predictions of the optimum rates require accurate modeling of the frictional pressure loss ...

Abstract: A numerical simulation on the airflow exiting from a nozzle in a pneumatic dimensional control system has been conducted using computational fluid dynamics code FLUENT (V. 4.3), which solves ...

Abstract: Powder injection molding is an important processing method for producing precision metallic or ceramic parts. Experience, intuition and trial-and-error have been the practice for the design and ...
