Abstract: Recent experiments on the sublimation of single crystals of ice in an atmosphere of air indicate that the sublimation rate is diffusion limited and initially solid prismatic crystals evolve into time-independent shapes ...

Abstract: The Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) conducted studies for a wind turbine field of 100 MW at a site near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, one of the windiest areas in the United States. The wind turbine ...

Abstract: This paper is intended to provide, from an insurer's perspective, an overview of what has created the need for alternate dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, the preferred method, its function, effects, and results. ...

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of optimal (minimum-time) on-off regulation of a dynamic plant whose state is known only at periodic instants of time. It is shown that on-off control inputs ...

Abstract: The use of finite elements for simulation of rotor systems has received considerable attention within the last few years. The published works have included the study of the effects of rotatory ...

Abstract: Derivation of the governing equations for compressible flow in a tapered annular seal is based on Hirs’ turbulent bulk-flow model. Zeroth and first-order perturbation equations are developed by ...

Abstract: Consider a long cylindrical bar (of a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic material) that is initially in static equilibrium under the action of uniform radial pressure on its cylindrical ...
