Abstract: The performance of the vehicular split compressor differential gas turbine (SCDGT) engine is compared to that of the variable geometry free power turbine (FPT) engine. Fuel consumption, engine ...

Abstract: With recent developments in N. C. manufacturing processes it is relatively straightforward to produce a journal bearing with spherical surfaces. Such a bearing offers two main advantages over a ...

Abstract: The role of dilute small particles on the development of strain localization under uniaxial tension has been studied by finite element analysis using a plane stress model with two small hard ...

Abstract: Local deformation due to the interaction of small scale features such as voids or hard particles is expected to have a significant influence on the failure mode of a material. To this end, ...

Abstract: Deformation and fracture behavior of several formable automotive aluminum alloys and steels have been assessed experimentally at room temperature through standard uniaxial tension, plane strain ...

Abstract: A steady-state analysis based on the short bearing approximation is presented for the cylindrical-spherical floating ring bearing, where the inner surface of the ring is cylindrical whilst the ...

Abstract: A steady-state model of a conventional floating ring bearing is presented, specifically, to assess the feasibility of its use in the power generating industry. It necessitates the numerical ...
