Abstract: In an effort to uncover the effect of interfacial partial debonding on the reduction of composite stiffness, a reduced moduli approach is proposed for the fictitious inclusions which are used ...

Abstract: Based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka theory the nine effective elastic constants of an orthotropic composite reinforced with monotonically aligned elliptic cylinders, and the five elastic moduli of a ...

Abstract: The variation of spray characteristics (Sauter Mean Diameter and Rosin-Rammler drop-size distribution parameter) downstream of a pressure swirl atomizer along radial distance has been measured by ...

Abstract: Further experimental research has been carried out on the ignition improvement by oxygen addition in a small pilot combustion chamber taken from an existing aeroengine. Both uniform mixture ...

Abstract: A thermal storage unit (TSU) with flat microheat pipe arrays (FMHPAs) as heat transfer core is experimentally investigated in this study. A comprehensive evaluation parameter of the TSU defined as thermal power intensity ...
