Abstract: A generalization of the popular Shapiro filters is described which allows the suppression of a broader band of frequencies near the sampling limit corresponding to two-grid-length waves. Applications to high-order finite ...

Abstract: A quick stop device (QSD) was designed for use in orthogonal machining and rubbing experiments. QSD’s are used to obtain chip root samples that are representative of the deformation taking ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory tests was conducted using rolling contact bearings to compare the lubricating properties of a specially formulated synthetic lubricant based on diester to those of a ...

Abstract: The semigeostrophic equations are a filtered approximation to the primitive equations that have been applied with considerable success to the study of atmospheric frontogenesis and, increasingly, to the study of the influence ...

Abstract: Through the use of the dimensional splitting ?cascade? method of grid-to-grid interpolation, it is shown that consistently high-order-accurate semi-Lagrangian integration of a three-dimensional hydrostatic primitive equations ...

Abstract: A recursive filter objective analysis method is described. It is a "successive approximation" system with the particular feature of locally varying scaling, making it especially appropriate for dealing with inhomogeneous ...

Abstract: The longitudinal coefficient of thermal expansion (α1 ) of unidirectional T300/934 and AS/3501-5A graphite/epoxy (Gr/Ep) composite changes within a thousand thermal cycles at ranges greater than ...
