Abstract: On the basis of a Brinkman model (BM), this paper predicts that the effects of viscous shear stresses on the linear stability of short porous journal bearings are apparent and not negligible. ...

Abstract: Based on the Brinkman model (MB), this paper concerns the more realistic influence of viscous shear stresses on the lubrication performance of short porous journal bearings. Compared with those ...

Abstract: A new five-finger robot hand (NTU hand) with seventeen degrees of freedom (DOF) is developed in this paper. In contrast to traditional tendon-driven robots, the NTU hand has an uncoupled ...

Abstract: his paper focuses on the development and validation of retrieval models of water vapor (WV) and wet tropospheric path delay (PD) for the calibration microwave radiometer (CMR) on board the first ocean dynamic environment ...

Abstract: The pure squeeze magneto-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (MEHL) motion of circular contacts with an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is explored under ...

Abstract: The coupled extended Reynolds (which includes the effects of Navier-slip and flow rheology), elasticity deformation, and the load equilibrium (under a constant load condition) equations are solved ...
