Abstract: The vibration analysis of cam-follower systems is extended to models having two degrees of freedom. Two models are considered, one in which the cam support is rigid and the follower has two ...

Abstract: Syrinxes are fluid-filled cavities of the spinal cord that characterize syringomyelia, a disease involving neurological damage. Their formation and expansion is poorly understood, which has hindered ...

Abstract: Bearings which are lubricated by process fluids are being considered for application at temperatures exceeding 1000 deg F. Although under static conditions, nickel-base alloys offer an excellent ...

Abstract: The fracture strength of single grits of alumina abrasive grain, as observed while cutting mild steel, was measured as a function of the grain depth of cut, the tangential force during cutting, ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of an externally pressurized porous gas journal bearing is analyzed by assuming one dimensional flow through porous wall. A periodic (displacement) disturbance is imposed on ...

Abstract: A theoretical estimate of dynamic characteristics in terms of stiffness and damping of an externally pressurized gas-lubricated porous journal under tilting mode of vibration is made. The governing ...

Abstract: Using the nonlinear creep law proposed by Soderberg, closed-form solutions are derived for the relaxation of incompressible thick-walled spheres and cylinders in plane strain. These solutions ...
