Abstract: This paper describes the development of an accelerated cavitation screening method for coatings using the concept of acoustic emission. The analytical models correlating acoustic emission signal ...

Abstract: Single-input mechanisms driven by relatively small cranks have been shown to have output link motions, describable as approximately simple harmonic functions of the input crank angular displacement. ...

Abstract: Approximate kinematic equations are developed for the analysis and design of three-input, eight-bar mechanisms driven by relatively small cranks. Application of a method in which an output link ...

Abstract: The performance of an alkaline fuel cell (AFC) is investigated using three different fuels, e.g., methanol, ethanol, and sodium borohydride. Pt∕C∕Ni was used as anode, whereas MnO2∕C∕Ni was used ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation on the infrared radiative properties of heavily doped Si at room temperature. Lightly doped Si wafers were ion-implanted with either boron or ...

Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical investigation of near-field radiative heat transfer between doped silicon surfaces separated by a vacuum gap. An improved dielectric function model for heavily ...

Abstract: There have been growing interests in selective control of thermal emission by using micro/nanostructures. The present study describes direct measurements of infrared thermal emission at elevated ...

Abstract: The determination of emissivity of layered structures is critical in many applications, such as radiation thermometry, microelectronics, radiative cooling, and energy harvesting. Two different ...

Abstract: Machining induces severe plastic deformation (SPD) in the chip and on the surface to stimulate dramatic microstructural transformations which can often result in a manufactured component with a ...
