Abstract: A mass-conserving, mode-based elastohydrodynamic lubrication model, which includes combined effects of journal and sleeve elasticity, is described. Application to a sample cylindrical bearing system ...

Abstract: Depending on casting methods, aluminum alloy cylinder heads differ greatly in quality and local strength as well as overall strength. Obviously, casting methods largely affect the durability of ...

Abstract: In this study, a surface wear prediction methodology for spur and helical gears is proposed. The methodology employs a finite elements-based gear contact mechanics model in conjunction with the ...

Abstract: The development of a “stabilized” temperature sensor has led to significant increases in turbine operating efficiency by maximizing output when compared with present sensor technology. These ...

Abstract: A multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) framework has been used to design an aircraft brake assembly. This was done using a user-interactive implementation of the framework in which design ...

Abstract: In the abdominal segment of the human aorta under a patient’s average resting conditions, pulsatile blood flow exhibits complex laminar patterns with secondary flows induced by adjacent branches ...
