Abstract: This research combines theoretical and experimental approaches to the dynamic mechanical characterization of viscoelastic materials. A detailed derivation is presented for the dynamic response of ...

Abstract: A study is made of the transient response of a thick-walled cylinder (plane-strain) or plate (plane-stress) subjected to an axially symmetric time-dependent pressure (or velocity) at an internal ...

Abstract: The transient and steady-state heat transfer, fluid flow, and stability of a toroidal thermosyphon have been studied theoretically. The thermosyphon is heated over the lower half and cooled over ...

Abstract: A study has been made of the flow of air and particles and the heat transfer inside a solar heated, open cavity containing a falling cloud of 100-1000 micron solid particles. Two-way momentum ...

Abstract: Time-resolved laser-Doppler velocimeter measurements of the circumferential velocity component were obtained for the flow between the center pair of four disks of common radius R2 corotating at ...

Abstract: The design of orthodontic archwires often incorporates complex bends, loops and twists to generate force fields. The determination of the magnitude and direction of these forces requires the ...

Abstract: Time-resolved measurements of the circumferential velocity component were obtained with a laser-Doppler velocimeter in the space between the center pair of four disks corotating in air in an ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation has been performed for the ventilated flow of air in the unobstructed space between the center pair of four disks corotating in a fixed cylindrical enclosure. This ...
