Abstract: Experimental results on the interior and the exit region film-thickness measurements of self-acting foil bearings are presented and discussed. These measurements were made with capacitive sensors ...

Abstract: This paper studies the influence of three different calculation methods of the second-order low-frequency (LF) wave-force quadratic transfer functions (QTFs) for a single point mooring (SPM) tanker ...

Abstract: Corrosion of steel in concrete is a major concern. The use of alternate, noncorrosive reinforcement such as fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) bars and tendons has, therefore, received much attention lately. There is limited ...

Abstract: Features allow one to associate human knowledge and product geometry. The authors proposed, in earlier publications, a unified feature modeling scheme with the aim to maintain the integrity and ...

Abstract: Results of analytical and experimental studies of cavitation in valve-controlled hydraulic actuators under various dynamic conditions are presented. The analytical work consists of deriving approximate ...
