Abstract: In this approximate analysis of laminar journal bearing operations both the momentum and the energy equations are two dimensional, the shaft operates at a constant temperature and the bearing ...

Abstract: Backward‐characteristics schemes for solution of the mass transport equation are inherently nonconservative when the advective velocity is variable, and they have difficulties at boundaries where mass flux conditions are ...

Abstract: Artificial instantaneous discharge of buoyant fluid in ambient waters is usually carried out at the time of maximum cross-flow so that the resulting dilution is optimal. The determination of the characteristics of this ...

Abstract: A continuous optical correlation technique for fatigue damage detection and fatigue failure prediction in metals is described. Information about the metal surface is recorded on a thermoplastic- ...
