Abstract: A new semifree-piston rotary generator concept is modelled dynamically and reduced to a single equation for piston stroke motion. This new concept comprises a toroidal-segment piston and cylinder, ...

Abstract: A split-frequency harmonic balance method (SF-HBM) is developed to obtain subharmonic responses of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom oscillator driven by periodic excitation. This method is capable ...

Abstract: The problem of statistically bounding the response of an engineering structure with random boundary conditions is addressed across the entire frequency range: from the low, through the mid, to ...

Abstract: In order to expand the applications for implanted rechargeable batteries, and to reduce the frequency of battery replacement procedures, we are investigating a recharging technique complimentary ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of experiments conducted to evaluate the fluid mechanical performance of various two-phase LMMHD mixer designs. The results from both flow visualization ...

Abstract: The problem of estimating the parameters in an equation of roll motion from roll measurements only, taken in an irregular sea, is discussed. A single degree of freedom equation of motion is ...
