Abstract: This paper presents the results of the investigation concerning the stability of the motion of a connecting rod. For simplicity in analysis, the rod is assumed to have a constant cross-sectional ...

Abstract: Natural convection heat transfer has been studied in a sealed small PCB enclosure of three heated components which are mounted on a PCB plate within a large console cooled by vented airflow. ...

Abstract: The elastic flexural-torsional instability of monosymmetric I-beams and cantilevers is investigated using a general energy approach based on the vanishing of the second variation of the total potential energy. For simply ...

Abstract: We study plane strain thermomechanical deformations of a square block made of steel, and model a material defect in it by a rigid non-heat-conducting ellipsoidal inclusion located at the center ...

Abstract: We study plane strain thermomechanical deformations of a prismatic viscoplastic body of square cross-section and deformed at a nominal strain-rate of 5000 s−1 . The body has two thin layers ...

Abstract: A multiaxial theory of creep deformation for particle-strengthened metal-matrix composites is derived. This derivation is based on the observation that there are two major sources of creep ...

Abstract: The leakage rates of bolted flanged connections change with service time due to the gasket contact stress relaxation and degradation of gasket material. The nonuniform distribution of gasket ...

Abstract: Methane combustion with porous honeycomb hexaaluminate catalysts is studied under high temperatures. Cobalt-substituted barium-lanthanum hexaaluminates (Ba1−mLamCoAl11O19±δ) are prepared by co-precipitation procedures and ...

Abstract: The integrated fast lattice filter adaptive control algorithm developed in Part 1 of this paper will be implemented for the control of the structural vibration of a coordinate measuring machine ...
