Abstract: The problem of unsteady motion of an electrically conducting viscous liquid contained in a cylindrical vessel in the presence of an axially symmetric magnetic field of constant strength has ...

Abstract: It is shown that the Ritz variational method can be applied to nonconservative problems provided the admissible velocity satisfies not only the geometric boundary condition but also a work ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of the performance benefits that can be achieved by introducing acoustic coupling between the diaphragms in an array of miniature microphones. The introduction of this coupling is analogous to the ...

Abstract: The steady rotational flow of an inviscid fluid in a two-dimensional channel toward a sink or a contraction is treated. The velocity distribution at upstream infinity is approximated by a ...

Abstract: Microstructure is examined in 61 temperature-depth profiles which were obtained at one location in a fresh water lake. Over the 12 hr of observation, specific features of the microstructure are continuous, but increase in ...

Abstract: Certain component failures in synchronous-driven high-inertia rotating equipment may be traced to a phenomenon peculiar to the starting characteristic of a salient-pole synchronous motor: A synchronous ...

Abstract: An analog computer simulation is used to substantiate an equivalent linearization analysis of a bilinear hysteretic system undergoing random vibration. An interpretation of the physical behavior ...
