Abstract: This study focuses on the influence of roughness lay directionality on micropit crack formation, using a computational approach. A mixed lubrication model is implemented to find the surface tractions, which are used in a ...

Abstract: A primitive equation ocean model is applied to the process study of the Gaspé Current and cyclonic circulation over the northwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence (NWG). The model is driven by river discharge and barotropic boundary ...

Abstract: The minimum sound pressure is an important aspect of noise control. This means that minimal or no noise at a location will be experienced at a certain frequency. In many engineering applications, it is desirable to compute ...

Abstract: Stress and deformation analysis of a cavity in an infinite/finite medium is a fundamental applied mechanics problem of interest in multiple physics and engineering disciplines. This paper develops a complete semianalytical ...

Abstract: The method of dislocation distribution has been applied extensively to crack related problems by many people in the last fifteen years. It has been proved to be very successful in terms of ...

Abstract: A new method based on task process models for acquiring manipulative skills from human experts is presented. In performing manipulative tasks such as deburring, a human expert moves a tool at ...

Abstract: The analysis of spectral energetics in the frequency domain has been applied to several observed datasets and those simulated by a GFDL general circulation model. There exists good agreement on the directions of energy ...
