Abstract: The response of a small gas bubble, so-called cavitation nucleus, to the reduction of ambient pressure is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Numerical results show that the gas mixture ...

Abstract: The friction performance and thermal resistance of paper-based oil immersed friction materials are influenced by the material structure formed as a result of the combination of porosity and ...

Abstract: This paper examines mainly oscillatory behavior of a fluid-conveying collapsible tube using a two-dimensional flexible channel made of a pair of membranes. The equation of equilibrium of the ...

Abstract: The lubrication mechanism when the magnetic head is sliding on the magnetic disk in the drag test with cyclic interval rest periods, is discussed. A long rest period decreased the wear of ...

Abstract: This paper describes the optimum design methodology for improving operating characteristics of hydrodynamic journal bearings and its application to elliptical journal bearing design used in high-speed ...

Abstract: The effects of hypertension on the stress and strain distributions through the wall thickness were studied in the rat thoracic aorta. Goldblatt hypertension was induced by constricting the left ...

Abstract: To investigate mechanisms of the mechanical adaptation of soft biological tissues to load, effects of hypertension on the mechanical properties and wall dimensions of thoracic aortas were studied ...

Abstract: In automatic lateral control, which will play a key role in highway automation, vehicles must follow a given path and vehicle direction must be controlled as desired. Therefore, the ideal is ...
