Abstract: The linear stability problem of a n-layered liquid film with a solidified liquid-air interface is reviewed. The general formulation is applied to the special case of a two-layered film flow ...

Abstract: This paper presents an accurate optical technique for sphericity measurement of a ball by means of phase shift interferometry. The ball is placed in a fixture on a numerically control rotary ...

Abstract: Based on the approximate Jezek's method of beam‐column theory, a computerized analysis was performed to determine the maximum strength of cold‐formed steel columns. In this study, the effect of residual stress and initial ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for modeling and control of the lithographic offset color printing process. The color controller consists of two ANNs; the ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic stability of a liquid column resting on a gas in a vertical tube with its upper end closed is analyzed. The maximum height above which the interface is unstable is given ...

Abstract: The problem of nonlinear hydrodynamic stability of a film coating on a surface subject to spatially varying disturbances is formulated and solved. The characteristics of the wavy surface of the ...

Abstract: Glass fiber forming is a complicated process in which many factors could affect the quality of fibers. The forming machine has many fiber-forming tubes that are close to each other and arranged ...

Abstract: An analytical model is developed to compare the effects of voids and debonds on the interfacial shear stresses between the adherends and the adhesive in simple lap joints. Since the adhesive ...
