Abstract: For the Instrument Engineer involved in the design of mechanisms that transmit power under boundary lubricated conditions, little information is available on which to base fine pitch gear load ...

Abstract: This study evaluated three algebraic stress models for predicting turbulent stresses near the free surface in a free-surface jet at nonzero Froude number, by comparing to experiments. The models ...

Abstract: A ray-tracing method is presented for numerically determining radiative view factors in complex three-dimensional geometries. This method uses a set of “primitive” shapes to approximate the required ...

Abstract: For three-component laser velocimeter systems, the change in projected area of the coincident measurement volume for different flow directions will introduce an “angular” bias in naturally sampled ...

Abstract: Rework has been identified as a major contributor to cost and schedule overrun in construction projects. Previous studies that have examined rework are based on a limited data sets and thus eschew generalizations being ...

Abstract: Project alliancing is a new alternative to traditional project delivery systems, especially in the commercial building sector. The Collaborative Process is a theoretical model of people and systems characteristics that are ...
