Abstract: The viscous boundary layer analysis for the sidewalls of a wave tank is presented for the case of two-dimensional waves of small amplitude traveling along the channel length. The second-order ...

Abstract: This study develops closed-form equations that may be used to guide the up-front design of a variable-displacement pump. In particular, the initial design of the control actuation system and ...

Abstract: In this paper, the flow gain of a hydraulic pressure-reducing valve is examined. It is noted that classical linear-analysis is typically used to optimize the flow gain of hydraulic control-systems ...

Abstract: Surface-flawed tensile bar specimens were developed and tested to investigate the applicability of fracture mechanics to relatively small crack sizes under varying stress-time-temperature conditions ...
