Abstract: The problem of dependent cut joint constraints for kinematic loops in rigid multibody systems is addressed. The constraints are reduced taking into account the subalgebra generated by the screw ...

Abstract: The results of fatigue tests are characterized by much scatter. Such scatter is further increased if data from different test series are combined to derive, for instance, characteristic values ...

Abstract: In order to be able to optimally operate a combined cycle power plant in a liberalized electricity market, knowledge of the plant’s maximum exportable power generation capacity is vital. However, ...

Abstract: A control-oriented mathematical model of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack is developed and experimentally verified. The model predicts the bulk fuel cell transient temperature ...

Abstract: Cavitation tunnel measurements have shown tip vortex cavitation inception is delayed when polymers are injected from the hydrofoil tip. Experiments with polymers have also shown that the polymers ...

Abstract: The permeability or crossover characteristics of a typical perfluorosulfonic acid base type membrane are used for the temporal and spatial estimations of nitrogen concentration along the anode ...
