Abstract: Vortex spinning is a novel technology which produces shortstaple yarns by utilizing highspeed swirling airflow. The structure of the spindle plays an important role in vortex spinning in terms of its effect on the resulting ...

Abstract: The COVID-19 virus emerged abruptly in early 2020 and disseminated swiftly, resulting in a substantial impact on public health. This paper aims to forecast the evolution of large-scale and sporadic COVID-19 outbreaks, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a microstructure-dependent creep model is developed that accounts for the hierarchal microstructure at multiple length scales. The model considers three distinguishable phases in ...

Abstract: This paper reports an integrated approach for jointly solving the process selection, machining parameter selection, and tolerance design problems to avoid inconsistent and infeasible decisions. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the power that is available for harvesting in the vehicle suspension system and the tradeoff among energy harvesting, ride comfort, and road handing with analysis, simulations, ...

Abstract: The toggle clamp is one of the most common forms of clamps used throughout industry. They are commercially available in different types and models satisfying almost all ordinary fixture clamping ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on a hybrid-driven servo press, which uses not only a servomotor but also a regular ac motor with a flywheel. A PC-based control system is developed based on both feedback ...

Abstract: In cylindrical coordinates, a potential method is developed for three-dimensional (3D) wave propagation in a poroelastic medium. By using the proposed potential method, the wave propagation problems can be reduced to the ...
