Abstract: An experimental technique for testing thermosyphon solar hot water systems is described which allows testing of the system indoors under nonirradiated conditions. The technique described is ...

Abstract: Accelerated rolling contact fatigue tests were conducted to study the effect of grain flow orientation on the rolling contact fatigue life of vacuum induction melted and vacuum arc remelted ...

Abstract: Analysis is presented on stresses in a pipeline caused by bottom irregularities during installation and by trenching operations. The governing equations are described in non-dimensional forms, and ...

Abstract: A finite element model of a suspension for read-write heads in disk drives is developed. The modelled vibration modes are compared with measurements and agree well in shape and frequency. The ...

Abstract: During 1985?86 a summary and review of gravity wave measurements was made by Reid. In particular a collation of 408 horizontal wavelengths was prepared, which included values from optical and radar methods. Since that time ...

Abstract: The flow in a 59-cm dia high work, transonic compressor rotor has been visualized using a fluorescent gas, 2,3, butanedione, as a tracer. The technique allows the three-dimensional flow to be ...

Abstract: Local values of shear stress at the tool-workpiece interface in plane-strain upsetting were determined from experimental observation of the distorted grid pattern. The friction condition at the ...
