Abstract: The present analysis addresses the generation of regular polygonal paths with any number of sides, odd or even, by use of special rotors revolving with uniquely prescribed motions inside fixed polygonal holes of guidance, ...

Abstract: Abstract. The trailer trains for the transport of freight in sites where people are present proceed rather slowly along tortuous paths and roll on stiffer wheels compared with the common road vehicles, whence their motion ...

Abstract: Several cases of cylindrical bearings lubricated with ferrofluid are examined by means of a finite-difference numerical procedure. The subregion of cavitation is determined by imposing mass ...

Abstract: A second-order equilibrium analysis is developed for the calculation of the collapse load of an eccentrically compressed beam with an annular cross section in the presence of a no-tension material. Unlike the case of a ...

Abstract: his study develops a stochastic approach to model short-crested stormy seas as random fields both in space and time. Defining a space?time extreme as the largest surface displacement over a given sea surface area during a ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a dam-breach model which predicts, in a simple but physically based manner, not only the peak discharge but the whole outflow hydrograph and breach development. The following aspects are taken into ...

Abstract: n unexpected wave is defined by Gemmrich and Garrett as a wave that is much taller than a set of neighboring waves. Their definition of ?unexpected? refers to a wave that is not anticipated by a casual observer. Clearly, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a theoretical description of the mechanical behavior of rubber belt variators during the speed ratio shift. Comparing with the steady operation, the mass conservation of the ...
