Abstract: Long free strips of small thickness frequently show a wavy surface being the consequence of buckling due to residual stresses. The paper deals with the derivation of the corresponding relations ...

Abstract: Numerical simulation of the laser-induced formation of shapes from polymer powders is achieved using an extension of a previously developed model of nonisothermal powder sintering. The extended ...

Abstract: A streamline curvature throughflow numerical approach is assessed and modified to better approximate the flow fields of transonic axial compression systems. Improvements in total pressure loss ...

Abstract: This paper describes a microplasticity model for analyzing the variation of cutting force in ultra-precision diamond turning. The model takes into account the effect of material anisotropy due ...

Abstract: The dynamic equations of the Jeffcott rotor with imbalance are concerned. The reliability of rotor systems with rubbing is examined. A statistical fourth moment method is developed to determine ...

Abstract: Recently Khonsari et al. 1 analyzed the scuffing failure of hydrodynamic bearings caused by an abrasive contaminant. Modeled as a spherically shaped rigid particle, the contaminant was envisioned ...

Abstract: The paper provides an experimental study on the feasibility of base isolation for seismic protection of nonstructural secondary system such as sensitive instrumentation, computer equipment, ...

Abstract: The ovine stifle joint is a promising animal model for investigation of joint mechanobiology. A method for in vivo measurement of dynamic 3-D kinematics of the ovine stifle joint is described ...
