Abstract: Investigation is made of the zero pressure gradient condition which is used to locate the ruptured segment of a cavitation boundary in hydrodynamic lubrication. A stability argument provides ...

Abstract: Traditionally, placement techniques have focused on improving rotability based on minimizing the total wire length between interconnected components. However, electronic card assembly (ECA) reliability, ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a determination of the fracture toughness requirement to obtain leak-before-break performance for a 155–175 ksi strength level high-pressure gas cylinder. Analytical LEFM ...

Abstract: Bond graph models for the audio range response of a dynamically continuous, linear motion magnetostrictive actuator are formulated and presented. The actuator involves a continuous rod of ...

Abstract: For stiff structures with large plan dimensions, on soft soil and supported by columns on separate foundations, differential motion of the column foundations may lead to large moments and shear forces in the first-story ...

Abstract: Three configurations of a small device using either incompressible or compressible fluids to indicate the dive speed of a vehicle descending in water are theoretically considered. The device is ...

Abstract: Combustion experiments simulating spark-ignition engine conditions require generation and measurement of high intensity, rapidly decaying turbulence in a combustion test cell. Turbulence is generated ...
