Abstract: A vibration reduction of ship hulls by an active absorber system is proposed. In the scheme, a tuned mass is moved according to the hull vibration as measured by a multi-mode sensing system ...

Abstract: Holographic techniques are used in many fields of science and engineering including flow observation. The purpose of this paper is to review applications of holography to multiphase flow study ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional elastodynamic problem of a semi-infinite plate containing an edge crack is considered. Initially, the plate is stress-free and at rest. To simulate the asymmetric impact of ...

Abstract: Sectional oblique fins are employed, in contrast to continuous fins in order to modulate the flow in microchannel heat sinks. The breakage of a continuous fin into oblique sections leads to ...

Abstract: An analytical tension-stiffening model was developed for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets bonded to reinforced concrete based on equilibrium equations and the assumption of linear behavior between bond stress and slip. ...
