Abstract: The dependence of ion-chamber current on the density of the filling gas has been investigated, experimentally and analytically, to explore the use of an ion chamber as a high-pressure gas ...

Abstract: A new design method for V-belts has been developed. The new method involves a horsepower-life relationship which has been derived on the basis of the results of a vast experimental program ...

Abstract: A new design parameter, friction-instability, is defined in this paper. Friction-instability is a variation in the coefficient of friction which may occur at any time during the life of a brake ...

Abstract: This work presents an analysis of the plate drawing processes carried out in converging dies. The analysis has been made by the upper bound method (UBM), modeling the plastic deformation zone ...
