Abstract: The laminar flow of a polymer solution near a flat plate of infinite extent is investigated theoretically for three cases: (a) the plate is impulsively started and moves in its own plane ...

Abstract: Experimental studies of the flow-induced lateral motions of a flexible tube in parallel flow are reported. The experiments were conducted in a 19.05 cm diameter test section of a blow-down ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the laminar-to-turbulent transition and resulting hydrodynamic forces on a body of revolution with a long, favorable pressure gradient forebody (i.e., where pressure is ...

Abstract: Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is an emerging technology, which seeks to develop sensors and processing systems aimed at monitoring the operation of complex machinery such as turbine engines, ...

Abstract: Current generation mechanical diagnostic equipment is designed to identify individual events or trends in the output of sensors mounted on a mechanical component, subsystem, or system. Such ...
