Abstract: The particular solutions of a two-dimensional infinite wedge for various boundary conditions with lnr weak singularity have been investigated in this paper. The relations of the weak singularities ...

Abstract: The pressure-volume relationship of lungs subjected to repeated compression and expansion is studied in detail. The investigation was motivated by an attempt to understand why lungs are frequently ...

Abstract: Solar silicon wafers are mainly produced through multiwire sawing. The sawing process induces micro cracks on the wafer surface, which are responsible for brittle fracture. Hence, it is important to scrutinize the crack ...

Abstract: Vibration is one of the most common loading modes during handling and transport of solar silicon wafers and has a great influence on the breakage rate. In order to control the breakage rate during handling and facilitate ...

Abstract: Solar wafer/cell breakage depends on the combination of the stresses generated in the handling and the presence of structural defects such as cracks. Suction process is a common loading during silicon wafer handling. This ...

Abstract: The averaged equations of integrable and nonresonant Hamiltonian systems of multi-degree-of-freedom subject to light damping and real noise excitations of small intensities are first derived. Then, ...

Abstract: A procedure for designing a feedback control to asymptotically stabilize with probability one quasi-integrable Hamiltonian system is proposed. First, a set of averaged Ito⁁ stochastic differential ...

Abstract: This paper presents a constitutive model which can be used to predict creep strains and rupture lives of engineering materials undergoing entire creep process, including primary, secondary, and ...

Abstract: The traditional harmonic excitation method was modified to estimate 16 dynamic force coefficients of two misaligned journal bearings. To avoid the effects of different running conditions on the ...

Abstract: This paper solves the Reynolds equation by the finite difference method in a fixed coordinate system with the static load acted in the vertical direction. All static and dynamic characteristics ...
