Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of an asperity-excited thermo-mechanical field in a medium with a thin surface layer and a near surface void defect. The solutions for the temperature ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the temperature distribution and the stress state in the vicinity of a near-surface rectangular cavity. They occur when the solid is subjected to the Coulomb frictional ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of high-speed frictional heating over the surface of an elastic material, which has a near surface horizontal line crack. The frictional heating is represented by ...

Abstract: This investigation studies a two-dimensional model of a layered medium subjected to the frictional excitation of a high-speed asperity traversing over the surface of the medium. The general ...

Abstract: The analysis and design of rotor-bearing systems with gyroscopic effects are discussed in this paper. The original problem of this nonproportionally damped mechanism is transformed into the state ...

Abstract: An analytical method for the stress analysis of tubular joints of T, Y, K type is presented in this paper. The stress distribution and stress concentration factor of the joints are calculated. ...

Abstract: The relationship between the geometric parameters of α, β, γ and τ of tubular T joints and chord stress concentration factor, SCF, has been investigated. With the use of calculated values as ...

Abstract: The Chiang-Chun River basin is the largest and the most intensively used river basin in Tainan County, Taiwan. Based on the recent water quality analysis, the Chiang-Chun River is heavily polluted. Concern about the ...
