Abstract: Ends of an initially straight plate strip are rotated 90 deg. Using nonlinear bending theory, the maximum stress is obtained as a function of the half-distance between the rotated ends of the ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional analysis of the performance and flowfield of the Giromill is presented. The Giromill is a vertical-axis wind turbine with straight blades that are articulated to produce maximum ...

Abstract: Footings that are subject to axial load and bending can have a portion of their footing area that does not act in bearing. To design for such a loading condition, the engineer must compute the maximum bearing pressure, the ...

Abstract: Loss in dynamic stability of the low back has been identified as a potential factor in the etiology of low back injuries. A number of factors are important in the ability of a person to ...

Abstract: The FAST Code which is capable of determining structural loads of a flexible, teetering, horizontal axis wind turbine is described and comparisons of calculated loads with test data are given ...
