Abstract: This note presents the stress intensity factors of a long crack penetrating a circular transforming inhomogeneity. Using the Greens functions of dislocations interacting with a circular inhomogeneity ...

Abstract: The coupled translation-rotation vibratory response of hypoid geared rotor system due to loaded transmission error excitation is studied by employing a generalized 3-dimensional dynamic model. The ...

Abstract: An important design decision for active trailer steering (ATS) systems for articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) is the trade-off between maneuverability and lateral stability. This paper presents an ...

Abstract: A lowtemperature (<120 آ°C) solar organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power generation experimental facility is designed and built. The influence of light intensity on the system performance is investigated using the experimental ...

Abstract: Two micromechanical models are used to calculate the statistical distributions of the stress intensity factor of a crack in a polycrystalline plate containing stiff grains and soft grain boundaries. The first is a ...

Abstract: Considering the large variations of working fluid's properties in nearcritical region, this paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of the performance of organic Rankine cycle in nearcritical condition (NORC) subjected to ...

Abstract: The effects of insulated and isothermal thin baffles on pseudosteady-state natural convection within spherical containers were studied computationally. The computations are based on an iterative, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new design technique of decentralized robust controllers for a class of uncertain interconnected system is provided. The interconnection matrices and the uncertainties of the ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the gas flow study of an ejector used in applications where moist gases are being entrained. Two parts of work are presented. In the first part, characteristics of gas flow inside an ejector, as well ...
