Abstract: The increasing importance of life science in all engineering is prompting departments in the traditional engineering disciplines to offer life science as part of their curricula. Students who ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the use of electrorheological (ER) fluids and piezoelectric (PZT) actuators to control random vibrations of stiffened composite panels is presented. Active control of stiffness ...

Abstract: An experimental and computational study is performed of the wake flow behind a single yawed cylinder and a pair of parallel yawed cylinders placed in tandem. The experiments are performed for ...

Abstract: The use of PBGA (plastic ball grid array) electronic packages has been greatly increased in the last decade due to high I/O densities offered. The fatigue life prediction for them is a ...

Abstract: Multistable equilibrium (MSE) systems are those which have multiple statically stable equilibrium positions. This paper gives an overview of what MSE systems are, how they can be used, and how ...

Abstract: Experimental and computational methods were used to study the structure and behavior of the shedded vortices around a V-ball valve. Strouhal frequency for shedded vortices around the valve over ...

Abstract: To determine which exercises do not overload the graft-fixation complex during intensive rehabilitation from reconstructive surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), it would be useful to ...
