Abstract: Running-in should be regarded as a self-adapting and convergent process of a dynamic system. The effect of surface roughness on dynamic behavior of a lubricated sliding wear system has been ...

Abstract: Since recent reviews cover the issues in NOx formation under gas-turbine canditions, and since regulations essentially dictate use of the premixed mode of combustion for minimum NOx , this ...

Abstract: Computer modeling of low-emissions gas-turbine combustors requires inclusion of finite-rate chemistry and its intractions with turbulence. The purpose of this review is to outline some recent ...

Abstract: This work revealed the mesodamage evolution in blocks-in-matrix soils (bimsoils) under triaixal cyclic loading. Although the macroscopic cyclic stress-strain responses of bimsoil have been well investigated, the mesoscopic ...

Abstract: This work forms part of an investigation into the nonlinear interaction between steep (but not overturning) transient waves and flared structures, using a coupled finite element and boundary ...

Abstract: Vibration signals of complex rotating machinery are often cyclostationary, so in this paper one novel method is proposed to detect and predict early faults based on the linear (almost) periodically ...

Abstract: A coupled Lagrangian Monte Carlo Probability Density Function (PDF)-Eulerian Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique is presented for calculating steady three-dimensional turbulent reacting flow ...

Abstract: Impacts of disasters are seen through the lens of death, dollars, and downtime, but downtime eludes quantification. This paper presents (1) the Global Economic Disruption Index (GEDI) as a method of describing the ...
