Abstract: The usual way of modeling an electropneumatic servodrive system consists of supposing the homogeneity of the flow parameters in the cylinder. In order to study the influence of the transmission ...

Abstract: In recent years, high-heat-flux cooling techniques have received great attention from researchers around the world due to its importance in thermal management of both commercial and defense ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the finite element technique for predicting the dynamic properties of anisotropic fiber-reinforced composite laminated plates. Considering the effect of transverse shear ...

Abstract: Slurry transport experiments were performed with five double-species slurries composed of glass beads and water. The double-species glass beads were various combinations of beads having two widely ...

Abstract: Topographic effects are known to accelerate wind speeds in hilly or mountainous terrains and consequently increase wind-induced damage. Here we describe a heuristic model developed to estimate wind-induced speedups in ...

Abstract: A graded binary titanium-nickel alloy with a compositional gradient, from elemental Ti to Ti–23.2 at. % Ni, has been successfully deposited using laser rapid forming. A metallurgical study of ...
