Abstract: This article presents a new analytical method with a numerical solution to calculate load distribution in threaded connections. Our departure model was that suggested by D. G. Sopwith who has ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of the mean wall shear stress and boundary layer momentum thickness on long, thin cylindrical bodies are presented. To date, the spatial growth of the boundary layer ...

Abstract: The unsteady hydrodynamics of the tail flapping and head oscillation of a fish, and their phased interaction, are considered in a laboratory simulation. Two experiments are described where the ...

Abstract: For the purpose of characterizing excess initial slip, the critical value of interfacial friction in the cross wedge rolling (CWR) process is investigated. After describing CWR and its failure ...

Abstract: The paper deals with a dynamic analysis of a non-contacting seal with two flexibly mounted rotating rings. The kinematics of motion is described and the equations of dynamics derived. Hydromechanical ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates a unified approach to analyze linear vibration of rotating machines with arbitrary geometry and complexity. In this formulation, the rotating machine consists of three ...

Abstract: Instantaneous-response and transient-flow component models for the prediction of the transient response of gas turbine cycles are presented. The component models are based on applications of the ...

Abstract: In earlier work, a novel open absorption cycle was proposed, capable of producing both cooling and dehumidification for air conditioning, utilizing low-grade heat. The system, referred to as DER ...
