Abstract: With the increased prominence of multicopter micro-aerial vehicles, more importance has been placed on the aerodynamic and acoustic performance of these systems, as their small-scale and lower Reynolds number regime provide ...

Abstract: The combustion performance of a compression ignition (CI) four-stroke aviation engine fueled with pure kerosene No. 3 rocket propellant (RP-3) was experimentally investigated for comparison with diesel. Pilot injection and ...

Abstract: Suction caisson is an advantaged foundation option for offshore wind turbines in sandy and clayey soils. In this work, a series of model tests were conducted to investigate the installation behavior of a suction caisson ...

Abstract: The majority of experimental and analytical investigations on the stress-strain behavior of rectangular concrete columns externally confined with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have concentrated largely ...

Abstract: Submerged inlets have the advantages of low drag, clean outer profile, and excellent stealth performance. Previous studies indicate that the zones of large total-pressure loss, located at the bottom and top regions of the ...

Abstract: Surface stress, which is always neglected in classical elastic theories, has recently emerged as a key role in the mechanics of highly deformable soft solids. In this paper, the effect of surface stress on the deformation ...

Abstract: ASME Code VIII-2-2019 and previous versions provided three screening criteria for fatigue analysis. From edition 2004 to 2019, the design factor for material allowable stress decreased and the considered range of permissible ...
