Abstract: The start from rest of a thin cylindrical body with elliptic cross section in a viscous incompressible fluid is studied numerically for various acceleration models. Force and moment coefficients ...

Abstract: Results of a mathematical model for the, depth‐averaged main flow velocity in shallow river bends are compared with measurements in two consecutive sharply‐curved short bends in the river Dommel, The Netherlands. The ...

Abstract: Vortex breakdown occurs in tornadoes and waterspouts. This phenomenon may give information on the state and future behavior of those whirlwinds. Because of the rarity of recorded events, archival sources are consulted for ...

Abstract: The influence of test temperature on the blunt notch and precracked fracture toughness behavior of aged 18Ni (350) maraging steel has been examined. Both toughness measurements exhibit a decrease ...

Abstract: The “short bearing” equation of lubrication theory, modified to include inertial effects, is used to study the influence of geometric deviations from the ideal. It is found that the centrifugal ...

Abstract: The “short bearing” equation of lubrication theory, modified to include the inertial effects, is used to study the influence of geometric deviations from the ideal. The turbulent nature of the ...

Abstract: A method for characterizing the creep-rupture strength of notched tensile specimens subjected to constant membrane loading has been developed. This method resolves the apparent contradiction between ...

Abstract: A review of the literature pertaining to the theory of porous gas bearings, their experimentally observed behavior, and their applications.
