Abstract: We perform global linear stability analysis on low-Re flow past an isolated cylinder with rounded corners. The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of cylinder geometry (corner radius) on the stability ...

Abstract: When individual proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are assembled together to form a stack and provide energy for practical applications, an appropriate clamping load is usually required to render the stack high ...

Abstract: This study presents a method of ultrasonic flaw identification using phased array ultrasonic inspection data. Raw data from each individual channel of the phased array ultrasonic inspection are obtained. The data trimming ...

Abstract: During the manufacturing process of aircraft, quality deviation problems inevitably occur due to the high complexity of aircraft design, manufacturing errors, tooling mistakes, human factors, environmental influences, ...

Abstract: The sensible and latent heat transfer are two essential considerations in investigating vapor condensation in the presence of noncondensable gases. In this paper, a new model for filmwise condensation heat transfer was ...

Abstract: The computational efficiencies of traditional reliability methods, such as Monte Carlo (MC), are extremely low. There are also some shortcomings for surrogate model (SM)-based methods, e.g., the sample points of the quadratic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a technique for tracking the high-speed motion of a multilink system using inertial measurement units (IMUs) in a new sensor arrangement, an approach which is referred to as dynamic measurements fusion. ...

Abstract: Laminated plates have a wide range of applications in engineering, and their flexibility becomes increasingly significant with the development of lightweighting technology. The absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) ...
