Abstract: This paper describes the following roles of a squeeze-film damper when used in gas turbine applications as a means of reducing vibration and transmitted force due to unbalance: (a) as an ...

Abstract: There has been much research work carried out on various aspects of individual squeeze-film dampers (SFDs) but very little on the interplay between a damper and the rotating assembly of which ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to establish a theoretical model to represent a sealed squeeze-film damper bearing and to assess it against results from a test rig, simulating the essential ...

Abstract: Recent suggestions for an improved model of heat transfer in living tissues emphasize the existence of a convective mode due to flowing blood in addition to, or even instead of, the perfusive ...

Abstract: A simple technique for measuring thermal conductivity of biomaterials is described. The method is based on depositing a pulse of heat into the material of choice, and fitting the subsequent ...

Abstract: The present communication presents a single microprobe technique for measuring tissue thermal properties based on the dissipation of a measured amount of energy and the observation of the resulting ...

Abstract: A new Adaptive Thermal Modeling (ATM) method for the measurement of local tissue blood perfusion rate is introduced. The method is based on a two-phase numerical technique. The first phase ...

Abstract: The T hermal P ulse D ecay (TPD) method for the determination of local tissue thermal conductivity and blood perfusion rate is based on a comparison of measured with theoretically calculated ...

Abstract: Streamflow measurement techniques of the Mississippi River at St. Louis have changed through time (1866–present). In addition to different methods used for discrete streamflow measurements, the density and range of discrete ...
