Abstract: An experimental and analytical investigation was undertaken to improve understanding of the form of long fiber reinforced thermoplastic sheets. The materials tested contained 30 percent by weight ...

Abstract: Thermoplastic composite materials hold considerable promise for increased use in low cost high volume applications because of the potential for processing by solid phase forming. Unfortunately, ...

Abstract: The viscosity-dependence of the velocity coefficient for a free liquid jet, issuing from a sharp-edged orifice, is predicted by computing the dissipation of energy in the boundary layer on the ...

Abstract: Complex turbulent mixing and reacting flows must be characterized in greater detail than is currently possible if analyses are to yield meaningful guidance in the design of practical hardware. ...

Abstract: Further analysis of a model in which creep is attributed to the movement generation, immobilization, and recovery of dislocations has permitted the anelastic (recoverable) component of strain to ...

Abstract: An elasto-plastic analysis of the thermal stresses and strains in a surface mounted plastic-quad-flat-pack (PQFP) assembly by using a 3-D finite element method is presented in this paper. Detailed ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the requirements for high-speed centrifugal compressor drive couplings and some of the problems created by conventional couplings. It describes two new coupling designs and ...
