Abstract: A critical problem in the underwater laser micromachining process is the optical disturbance caused by gas bubbles in water, where the laser beam quality and cut quality are significantly deteriorated. This paper introduces ...

Abstract: Dynamic analysis of power transmission lines with ice-shedding is conducted in this work. The power transmission line is first simplified as a uniform slender round beam. While the beam can have large displacements, ...

Abstract: Deployable satellite antenna structure has a bright prospect in high power space-borne antennas for strict telecommunication tasks. The alternating hot and cold environment in space as well as the nonuniform distribution ...

Abstract: External heat flux often induces deformation or vibration in space structures comprised of thin-walled tubes. Efficient and real-time thermal-structural dynamic analysis is essential for the reliable operation and optimal ...

Abstract: Noise, vibration, and harshness performances are always concerns in design of an automotive belt drive system. The design problem of the automotive belt drive system requires the minimum transverse vibration of each belt ...

Abstract: A complete dynamic model of a timing belt drive system with an oval cogged pulley and an auto-tensioner is established in this work. Periodic torsional vibrations of all accessory pulleys and the tensioner arm are calculated ...
