Abstract: Plates of 7075-T6 Aluminum have been folded along a major axis in pressure environments of atmospheric, 20,000 psi, and 40,000 psi. A finite element computer program is used to determine the ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the physiological bases of pharmacokinetics and discusses the use of physiological and biochemical information in developing compartmental models. Pharmacokinetic principles are ...

Abstract: The Electrofluid Dynamic wind-driven generator has been investigated under government supported programs since 1975. The concept features the direct conversion of wind energy into electrical power ...

Abstract: Design methods for solar collector sizing (such as f-chart) usually require a multiplying factor (the slope factor) to correct insolation data taken on the horizontal for the tilt angle of the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the proper selection of a performance index to satisfy a word statement of desired effect. A performance index formed as the time integral of Un is solved for various ...

Abstract: Two different methods to improve the thermal efficiency and reduce the emissions from lean-burn natural-gas fueled engines have been developed and are described in this paper. One method used ...

Abstract: A discussion of the fundamentals of the process of underwater electric discharge forming of metals is presented. The deformation of a sheet-metal diaphragm blast gauge is used as a measure of ...
