Abstract: The general motion of a roller and the cage in a tapered roller bearing is modeled as a function of frictional behavior in the bearing and cage clearances. Roller skew is shown to increase ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented to assess the effect of wind directionality on the vulnerability of rural houses to cyclonic wind speed, and also to provide cyclonic risk assessment of coastal regions. The effect of wind ...

Abstract: This paper studies the propagation of horizontally polarized shear waves (SH-waves) in a heterogeneous fiber-reinforced medium over a heterogeneous half-space under gravity. The inhomogeneity of the layer and half-space ...

Abstract: High protein feed (38%–42%) is regularly used in shrimp culture ponds. Uneaten feed and dead plankton accumulate in nitrogenous waste in aquaculture ecosystems which are further converted into high ammonium-N, nitrate-N, ...

Abstract: The assessment of stormwater runoff pollution from urban catchments is addressed within a probabilistic framework. The methodology utilizes probability density functions of rainfall event characteristics, a runoff coefficient ...

Abstract: This article presents an overview of the state-of-the art in modeling and simulation, and studies to which extent current simulation technologies can effectively support the design process. For ...

Abstract: In an assembly, degrees of freedom are realized by creating mating features that permit relative motion between parts. In complex assemblies, interactions between individual degrees of freedom ...
