Abstract: For the purpose of characterizing excess initial slip, the critical value of interfacial friction in the cross wedge rolling (CWR) process is investigated. After describing CWR and its failure ...

Abstract: Instantaneous-response and transient-flow component models for the prediction of the transient response of gas turbine cycles are presented. The component models are based on applications of the ...

Abstract: It has been a great honor to serve as Editor of the Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. I am looking forward to more time for other academic and personal pursuits but will miss the ...

Abstract: This article is a principle-based review of a growing body of fundamental research that documents the opportunity for optimizing geometrically the cooling of spaces (e.g., electronics packages) ...

Abstract: The progress of a transformed phase into an elastic-plastic parent phase is simulated by a growing sphere. The transformation is accompanied by a dilatational volume change. The strain and ...

Abstract: Lund set out to define the circumstances under which stable limit-cycle orbits could exist for the linearly unstable motion of a rigid rotor. He also examined the nature of these stable limit ...

Abstract: It is known that, when the mechanical coupling between the substructures is weak, small imperfections in a periodic structure can induce vibration localization. This phenomenon could lead to ...

Abstract: Yamamoto [1] examined a vertical Jeffcott rotor model with bearing clearances and showed that a small bearing “dead-band” clearance could have a dramatic influence on synchronous rotor response. ...

Abstract: A new surface-damping concept with an active-passive hybrid constraining layer (HCL) is proposed to improve the damping performance of traditional active constrained layer (ACL) systems. Instead ...
