Abstract: A novel modeling approach for viscoelastic hydraulic cylinders, with negligible inertial forces, is proposed, based on the extended fractional-order Jeffreys model. Analysis and physical reasoning for the parameter constraints ...

Abstract: Some correlation values in the original work (Ref. 1) were not presented with enough decimal places. These errata update these values and present some revised results.

Abstract: Two new design and certification methodologies have been developed to compute the reliability of façade access systems using simplified risk-based procedures. These methods consider uncertainties in the loads, load effects, ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the four points in the Kreith and Isler August, 2002 Journal of Solar Energy Engineering Discussion Note, “Comments Dealing with Fuel Cell Energy Policy and Renewable ...

Abstract: Advanced aircraft engine development dictates high standards of reliability for the lubrication systems, not only in terms of the proper lubrication of the bearings and the gears, but also in ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of dynamic similarity and intensive property invariance in scaled bilateral manipulation, and offers a design methodology based on these considerations. The methodology ...

Abstract: Trends in aircraft engine design have caused an increase in mechanical stress requirements for rolling bearings. Consequently, a high amount of heat is rejected, which results in high oil ...

Abstract: A method is presented to compute sensitivities of in-stream dissolved oxygen (DO) with respect to perturbations in the load vector and the reaction coefficients that make up the eutrophication cycle. It is shown that the
