Abstract: A new calculation method of the modal unbalance response for general flexible rotors in fluid film bearings has been developed by introducing the concept of modal exciting force vector into ...

Abstract: Mechanism of sediment transport is composed of complicated interactions between turbulent flow, particle motion, and bed configurations. Of particular significance is the interaction between turbulence and particle motion, ...

Abstract: Over the past two decades, plastic constraint effects have been an issue of concern in both fracture mechanics and structural integrity research, and several methods have been proposed for considering loss of plastic ...

Abstract: The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI prescribes the stress intensity factor solutions at the surface and deepest points for a semi-elliptical crack. The ASME Code Section XI, however, provides no solutions ...

Abstract: Alloy 82/182/600, which is used in light-water reactors, is known to be susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking. The depth of some of these cracks may exceed the value of half-length on the surface. Although the stress ...

Abstract: The constant pressure turbocharge system is widely used in marine diesel engines because of its high thermal efficiency. This study has been made to establish a simulation system for exhaust ...

Abstract: This paper proposes to use optimal dynamic quantizers for feedback control in mechatronics systems when the actuator signals are constrained to discrete-valued signals. Here, the dynamic quantizer ...

Abstract: Abnormal hemodynamic forces associated with distortions of blood vessel lumen have been thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of focal vascular lesions. In the vertebral artery, ...

Abstract: The constant pressure turbo-charge system has now been increasingly adopted for marine diesel engines because of its higher thermal efficiency in the range of higher mean effective pressure. ...
