Abstract: The plane elastic problem for a periodic array of cracks in a half-plane subjected to equal, but otherwise arbitrary normal crack surface tractions is examined. The mixed boundary value problem, ...

Abstract: A modal analysis was conducted on gas turbine buckets using a digital Fourier analyzer. This digital test/computer system measures a set of frequency response functions for broadband impulse ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new experimental system to study the L-HCCF of an actual turbine disk mortise teeth at elevated temperature, using an actual disk as experimental component. This system ...

Abstract: An investigation of thermal barrier coatings on a metal substrate was conducted when the assembly was subjected to both thermal heating and mechanical edge loads generated by interference in ...

Abstract: Based on asphalt pavement design theory and criterions in China, and referring to successful long life asphalt pavement structures in foreign countries, the stress-strain data in different depths were calculated by using ...

Abstract: A new experimental method, in which a full scale directionally solidified (DS) alloy turbine blade is loaded by a special design rig employing friction force and heated by eddy current induction, ...

Abstract: esponses of shallow cumuli to large-scale temperature/moisture perturbations are examined through diagnostics of large-eddy simulations (LESs) of the undisturbed Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) ...

Abstract: Single degree-of-freedom coupled serial chain (SDCSC) mechanisms are a class of mechanisms that can be realized by coupling successive joint rotations of a serial chain linkage, by way of gears ...

Abstract: espite numerous and widespread calls for more ?useful? climate-science information to inform policy, most climate science is still produced in a way that is consistent with the ?linear model? of research that favors pure ...
