Abstract: Current methodologies used for the inference of thin film stress through system curvature measurements are strictly restricted to stress and curvature states which are assumed to remain uniform ...

Abstract: Current methodologies used for the inference of thin film stress through curvature measurements are strictly restricted to uniform film stress and system curvature states over the entire system ...

Abstract: Fundamental tracking control algorithms of a differentially steered wheeled mobile robot with two conventional driven wheels are studied through analyzing the robot’s inherent kinematics. This ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effectiveness of the effective area method (EAM) for assessing the undrained load-carrying capacity of rectangular foundations under combined vertical (V), horizontal (H), and moment loading (M) ...

Abstract: Based on the finite-deformation shell theory for carbon nanotubes established from the interatomic potential and the continuum model for van der Waals (vdW) interactions, we have studied the ...

Abstract: Accurate gas turbine performance models are crucial in many gas turbine performance analysis and gas path diagnostic applications. With current thermodynamic performance modeling techniques, the ...

Abstract: Understanding the soil resistance along an embedded anchor chain is imperative for efficient and economic design of an overall mooring system as it determines the magnitude and direction of the load at the padeye of the ...

Abstract: At off-design conditions, engine performance model prediction accuracy depends largely on its component characteristic maps. With the absence of actual characteristic maps, performance adaptation ...
