Abstract: To derive analytical formulas for the rise and growth of a buoyant moist plume, it is necessary to introduce the Boussinesq and bent-over plume assumptions into the conservation equations. It is suggested that similar ...

Abstract: Conventional kinematic concepts of rolling can be seriously in error if applied to heavily loaded contacts, particularly if traction is large. Two relevant theorems of rolling are stated, which ...

Abstract: A change of variables that stabilizes numerical computations for periodic solutions of autonomous systems is derived. Computation of the period is decoupled from the rest of the problem for ...

Abstract: Asymmetries like welds or shoulders, may eliminate one of the two shear zones of symmetrically fully plastic cracked parts and thus give crack propagation along the remaining active slip band ...

Abstract: The design approach and results from a series of analyses used to select a miniature high-temperature multi-watt refrigerator for thermally protecting downhole instruments are described. Thirty-one ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of mobility methods to the lateral vibration analysis of coupled machinery. Some effects of bearing and/or casing structural mobility on the rotational system ...
