Abstract: Profile rolling processes such as those for gears play a very important role in everyday manufacturing. It is demonstrated here that the boundary element method (BEM) can be used to analyze, ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis for elastic-viscoplastic problems in the presence of large strains is presented in this paper. The formulation is capable of using any of a class of combined ...

Abstract: Sheet metal forming processes are prone to variations in material and process parameters. In an unmanned manufacturing cell, all the control functions must be automated and real-time measurement, ...

Abstract: An experimental technique to study diffusion of helium gas from an instantaneous point source within a neutral turbulent boundary layer is described. Concentrations from a simulated point source, located at a fixed height ...

Abstract: The study of the mechanical behavior of discontinuous rock masses is a rapidly growing subject. Much research has been reported in the literature concerning the estimation of the tunnel support pressures incorporating the ...

Abstract: The Highway Capacity Manual (2000) states that the capacity of a two-lane rural highway under ideal conditions is 3200 passenger car unit per hour for both directions combined. The ideal conditions as given in the manual ...

Abstract: A state-of-the-art review of analytical and experimental determination of residual stresses due to girth-butt welds in pipes is presented. In the analytical category, closed-form as well as ...

Abstract: This paper reports the fully developed flow and heat transfer in the horizontal channel filled with fluid saturated porous medium. The flow is derived from the combined impact of external pressure gradient and thermal ...

Abstract: Oil scavenge flow in aero-engine bearing chamber remains largely a challenging problem for many engine designers. Research campaign on scavenge flow has been conducted by G2TRC—Gas Turbine and Transmissions Research Centre ...
