Abstract: The dependence of ion-chamber current on the density of the filling gas has been investigated, experimentally and analytically, to explore the use of an ion chamber as a high-pressure gas ...

Abstract: A new design method for V-belts has been developed. The new method involves a horsepower-life relationship which has been derived on the basis of the results of a vast experimental program ...

Abstract: A new design parameter, friction-instability, is defined in this paper. Friction-instability is a variation in the coefficient of friction which may occur at any time during the life of a brake ...
