Abstract: Dynamic electrode displacement and force were characterized during resistance spot welding of aluminum alloy 5182 sheets using a medium-frequency direct-current welder. It was found that both ...

Abstract: A two-phase material is considered, which consists of a homogeneous elastoplastic matrix containing a homogeneous statistically uniform random set of ellipsoidal inclusions with the same form, ...

Abstract: This paper deals with an experimental investigation of aerodynamic characteristics of full and partial-length squealer rims in a turbine stage. Full and partial-length squealer rims are investigated ...

Abstract: A plastic limit formulation was previously developed for estimating caisson uplift in cohesive soils under general conditions of vertical, horizontal, and inclined loading. The formulation considers ...

Abstract: Present day turbogenerator installations are statically indeterminate rotor-bearing-foundation systems utilizing nonlinear hydrodynamic bearings. For optimal balancing and diagnostic purposes it is ...
