Abstract: Honeycomb annular seals are an attractive design alternative due to their superior static and dynamic performance. However, their implementation in industrial practice has been delayed by the ...

Abstract: This paper concerns the development of a procedure for systematic searching for mechanisms, classifying them, and screening for the optimum mechanism structure for wobble-plate engines. It includes ...

Abstract: This paper presents both free and forced vibration analyses of inclined cables, including the effects of cable sag, equipped with oil dampers in cable-stayed bridges by using a hybrid method recently developed by the ...

Abstract: A model that couples the rock matrix and fracture flow is employed to simulate the flow and solute transport in fractured porous media. The porous matrix is represented using an equivalent continuum model, and discrete ...

Abstract: Vibration mitigation of stay cables in cable-stayed bridges using oil dampers was experimentally investigated with scaled model cables and oil dampers. The increased cable modal damping ratios attributed to oil dampers ...
