Abstract: A thin metal film vapor deposited on thick elastomer substrate develops an equi-biaxial compressive stress state when the system is cooled due to the large thermal expansion mismatch between ...

Abstract: This paper offers extensions to the force-balancing theory and the techniques of spatial linkages given in [9-12]. It incorporates another technique for determining the minimum number of ...

Abstract: Theoretical evaluation and experimental research have been conducted to verify the performance of steam and gas turbines, including exhaust turbines of superchargers. The simplified channel method ...

Abstract: An alternative, improved method to determine mechanical properties from indentation testing is presented. This method can determine the elastic modulus, yield strength and equi-biaxial residual ...

Abstract: Pigging has been recognized as the most cost-effective method for preventing flow restriction by wax deposits in subsea flowlines. However, the pigging mechanics for wax removal in pipelines is ...

Abstract: In this paper, the scale invariance approach from micro- to macro-plasticity by (1995, “From Micro- to Macro-plasticity: The Scale Invariance Approach,” ASME J. Eng. Mater., 117, pp. 352–355) ...

Abstract: The increasing demand for reduction in time to market has led to new product development methodologies focusing on reuse. Platform product customization emerges as a basic idea for avoiding ...

Abstract: A superposed radial outflow of air is used to cool two disks that are rotating at equal and opposite speeds at rotational Reynolds numbers up to 1.2 × 106 . One disk, which is heated ...

Abstract: This paper describes a combined experimental and computational study of the heat transfer from an electrically heated disk rotating close to an unheated stator. A radial outflow of cooling air ...
