Abstract: The increasing demand for reduction in time to market has led to new product development methodologies focusing on reuse. Platform product customization emerges as a basic idea for avoiding ...

Abstract: In this paper, the moving least-squares differential quadrature (MLSDQ) method is employed for free vibration of thick antisymmetric laminates based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The generalized displacements ...

Abstract: This paper presents a combined experimental and computational study of unsteady flows in a linear turbine cascade oscillating in a three-dimensional bending/flapping mode. Detailed experimental ...

Abstract: WeBid is a prototype web-based framework developed for supporting and facilitating early supplier involvement in new product development on the Internet. It provides a suite of rigorous and yet ...

Abstract: TELD stands for “Teaching by Examples and Learning by Doing.” It unifies what have been widely known as case method (CM), problem-based learning (PBL), and project-based learning (PBL) in business, medical, and engineering ...

Abstract: Industrial parks, consisting of manufacturers and associated services, such as transport and warehousing, have played an important role in stimulating the economic and industrial development. Enterprises are able to share ...

Abstract: Craze cracking and clad disbonding typically occur in cladding due to thermomechanical cycling and high property mismatch between dissimilar materials in a coke drum. The thermoelasticity problem ...

Abstract: The effect of preshaking and repeated liquefaction on liquefaction resistance was studied in a large-scale shaking table experiment, in which a sequence of 51 shakings was applied to the base of a 5-m uniform deposit of ...
