Abstract: Accurate estimates of flow induced surface forces over a body are typically difficult to achieve in an experimental setting. However, such information would provide considerable insight into fluidstructure interactions. ...

Abstract: Available experimental data frorm more than 1,200 previous fatigue tests and some fatigue and fracture tests on full‐scale members are compiled and examined in conjunction with the details and measured live load stresses ...

Abstract: Fatigue strength of welded structures is typically estimated through several approaches, including experimental

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation of the spray created by Jet A fuel injection from a plate containing sharp edged orifice 0.018in.(457μm) in diameter and L∕D ratio of 10 into ...

Abstract: State-of-the-art afterburners employ spray bars and flameholders to burn the fuel. Such afterburner designs significantly increase the length (and thus weight), pressure losses, and observability ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of an empirical approach that attempts to predict blowout of bluff body stabilized flames using global flow parameters in systems where liquid fuel injectors are located a short distance ...

Abstract: With the magnitude of some stress cycles in a live load stress range spectrum being higher than the constant amplitude fatigue limit (CAFL) of a structural detail, the development of a fatigue crack could be expected. The ...

Abstract: A regular inspection of a bridge carrying U.S. Route 422 over the Schuylkill River in Berks County, Pennsylvania, revealed cracks in the floor beam–to–cantilever bracket tie plates. Similar fatigue damage of this type has ...
