Abstract: Acceleration analysis of a spatial four-link mechanism with one revolute pair and three cylindrical pairs of general proportions is presented here; results are expressed in concise algebraic forms ...

Abstract: A dual dynamic equation, based on dual vectors and screw calculus, is formulated here to provide a concise analytical tool for the study of the dynamics of rigid members in any complex ...

Abstract: Using 3 × 3 matrices of dual-number elements, dynamic equations are obtained for an offset unsymmetric gyroscope with obliquely placed rotor, a generalized six-degree-of-freedom gyroscopic ...

Abstract: A fundamental improvement of any one-parameter integral procedure for compressible laminar boundary-layer analysis is described. It is shown, by means of comparisons with exact solutions covering ...

Abstract: In this paper, a study is made of the unsteady laminar boundary-layer equations for free convection on vertical plates and cylinders to establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which ...

Abstract: The development of momentum and energy fields in the laminar-wake region above a heated finite vertical plate is studied analytically. Detailed velocity and temperature profiles in the immediate ...

Abstract: The use of artificial neural network (ANN), as one of the artificial intelligence methodologies, in a variety of real-world applications has been around for some time. However, the application ...

Abstract: In this paper, we define spherical evolutes corresponding to the trajectory of a point in spherical kinematics. We derive general expressions for the curvature properties of the nth spherical ...

Abstract: The effect of small cross flow and surface-temperature variation on laminar free-convection boundary-layer characteristics along a vertical plate is studied by means of a perturbation analysis. ...
