Abstract: Piezoelectric materials can develop mechanical strain upon applying electric voltage and vice-versa. A piezoelectric bimorph, widely used in various sensors and actuator applications, essentially behaves like a beam and ...

Abstract: The behavior of the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication film in rough rolling/sliding line contacts at dynamic loads is investigated numerically. The lubricant is assumed to be a mixture of ...

Abstract: Velocity fluctuations have been recognized as important in the dynamics and statics of mechanisms with time-varying angular velocities as long ago as the classical transmission-angle problem [1, ...

Abstract: The authors’ research work into fully developed pulsating and oscillating laminar pipe and channel flows raised questions regarding the development length of the corresponding steady flow. For ...

Abstract: Traditional sensors, such as accelerometers and displacement transducers, are widely used in laboratory and field experiments in earthquake engineering to measure the motions of both structural and nonstructural components. ...

Abstract: The creep behavior of a rotating disc made of isotropic composite containing varying amounts of silicon carbide in the radial direction has been investigated in the presence of a thermal ...

Abstract: Pressure gradient driven, laminar, fully developed pulsating pipe flows have been extensively studied by various researchers and the data for the resultant flow field are available in a number ...
