Abstract: Quantitative relationships have been obtained between restraining force and shape deviations, such as springback and side wall curl, in flanged channels made of SKDQ and high strength streets. ...

Abstract: Three simple and efficient methods are presented for the vibration control of slewing flexible structures. These methods are developed based on the constrained motion method in which the rotational ...

Abstract: Two high-authority control/low-authority control algorithms are presented and experimentally validated on a fast slewing beam system. The first one termed the constrained motion method in two-stage ...

Abstract: One of the challenges in structural control is to apply successfully the control law derived from a discrete, reduced-order model to the engineering system of much higher order. Spillover ...

Abstract: Measurements of the droplet behavior near the wall in a vertical rectangular duct were conducted by a phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA). The test Reynolds number and drop size range is ...

Abstract: The vibration control of a slewing flexible structure by collocated and noncollocated feedback is presented in this paper. A stability criterion derived from the root locus method in frequency ...

Abstract: Oil-jet cooling of internal combustion engine pistons has risen in prominence with the need to improve fuel economy by increasing the power density of engines. Laboratory tests were performed on a production automotive ...
