Abstract: During the wear process of surfaces in sliding friction, there is a running-in period during which the topography of surfaces changes with time before reaching the steady wear regime. In the steady wear regime, the statistical ...

Abstract: A modification of the Elrod and Ng turbulence model is presented. The order of magnitude of the Reynolds number in thin lubricant films varies between 102 and 105. For Reynolds numbers higher ...

Abstract: In 1984–1985 the Crescent, a multiuse building complex in Dallas, Texas, was constructed in a fast‐track scheme which employed many unique applications of field computers, as well as several unusual construction surveying ...

Abstract: The classical Timoshenko beam model and the shear beam model are often used to model shear building behavior both for stability or dynamic analysis. This technical note questions the theoretical relationship between both ...

Abstract: This paper presents a general formulation of the Reynolds equation for gas and liquid lubricants, including cavitation. A finite element solution of this equation is also given. The model is compared to those obtained in ...

Abstract: This paper explores the static and vibration behavior of a two-phase peridynamic rod (or relative displacement-based integral rod model) with exponential kernels. The two-phase peridynamic theory combines a local and a ...

Abstract: A water demand model for electricity production is presented which estimates the variability of water demand for energy production as a function of climate, especially temperature. The model incorporates the effects of ...
