Abstract: The objective of the present investigation is to determine the forced vibrations and acoustical characteristics of a wheel disk with a radially varying thickness from the consideration of ...

Abstract: The complex nature of the convective terms in the fluid flow governing equations has caused many researchers to work on estimating more accurate advection term magnitudes by employing better ...

Abstract: The accuracy of runoff curve numbers (CNs) is unknown, and empirical evidence has suggested that with the current CN table, hydrological systems are being over designed—which some believe is due to a variable known as the ...

Abstract: Best management practices (BMPs) are often implemented as part of drainage policies using design methods generated from uncalibrated computer models even though their in-place effectiveness has not been validated using ...

Abstract: One of the major challenges involved in the use of ceramic materials in advanced vehicular heat engines is ensuring adequate strength and durability. This Department of Energy supported activity ...

Abstract: Ilizarov proposes the use of a special circular fixation device for treatment of bone defects and nonunions or for limb lengthening. Supposition was that the success of this method has to do ...

Abstract: The thermal contact resistance (TCR) in a vacuum is studied. The TCR problem is divided into three different parts: geometrical, mechanical, and thermal. Each problem includes a macro- and ...
