Abstract: Based on the analytical solution of the equation of motion for a single degree-of-freedom model of a spring, the relation between the dynamic behavior and the kinematic features of input cam ...

Abstract: The radius of curvature of a cam profile is an important factor that affects the working life of cam mechanisms. Based on flexible motion curves using parametric polynomials developed earlier, ...

Abstract: Effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the acidogenesis of dairy wastewater was studied using an upflow reactor at pH 5.5, 37°C, and six HRTs ranging from 4 to 24 h. Results showed that the degree of acidification ...

Abstract: Acidification of lactose in wastewater was conducted in four series of experiments in an upflow reactor to investigate individual effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) (2–24 h), lactose concentration in wastewater (2–30 ...

Abstract: An investigation is presented into the neural networks based active vibration control of flexible linkage mechanisms. A smart mechanism featuring piezoceramic actuators and strain gauge sensors ...

Abstract: Delaminations of embedded passive components are often associated with reliability problems. Understanding the delamination can help us quickly identify the failure caused at an early stage of ...

Abstract: Experiments are presented to quantify the convective heat transfer and hydrodynamic loss that is obtained by forcing water through blocks of porous carbon foam (PCF) heated from one side. The ...

Abstract: Experiments and computations are presented to quantify the convective heat transfer and the hydraulic loss that is obtained by forcing water through blocks of graphitic foam (GF) heated from ...
