Abstract: The two-dimensional flow of a stratified rotating fluid over a ridge is considered using the linear theory model of Queney (1947). A general expression for the wave drag, or alternatively the vertical flux of angular ...

Abstract: An overview of the development and application of post-buckled precompressed (PBP) piezoelectric actuators is presented. It has been demonstrated that PBP actuators outperform conventional piezoelectric ...

Abstract: An analytical formulation which can be applied to obtain unsteady aerodynamic solutions for a cascade of flat plate blades oscillating in subsonic or supersonic flow with either subsonic or ...

Abstract: This paper expands on the numerical simulation of entropy noise by performing a comparison of two commonly used models for resolving turbulent flow field: large eddy simulation (LES) and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes ...

Abstract: This article presents a critical analysis of all the major pathways to produce hydrogen and to utilize it as an energy carrier to generate heat or electricity. The approach taken is to make ...

Abstract: In modern automotive control modules, mechanical failures of surface mounted electronic components such as microprocessors, crystals, capacitors, transformers, inductors, and ball grid array packages, ...

Abstract: The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology has developed and implemented new criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs in the United States. The new criteria, Technology Criteria 2000 (TC2K), ...

Abstract: Energy-efficient building design, especially in residential construction, strongly relies on thermophysical properties of the building envelope and its materials. With increasing insulation values in construction practice, ...
