Abstract: At Re=2000, the predicted flow field around a circular cylinder in forced transverse oscillation is verified with experimental results. For coupled torsional and transverse oscillation cases, the ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted on a laboratory rolling mill to assess the effects of surface roughness on lubrication in the cold rolling of thin steel and aluminum strips by measuring the forward ...

Abstract: The modified Reynolds equation in conjunction with the modified Coyne-Elrod rupture model is used to investigate the inertia effect on the pressure distribution in converging-diverging bearings. ...

Abstract: The load capacity, attitude angle, and lubricant flow rate are computed using a modified Reynolds equation combined with the modified Coyne-Elrod boundary conditions. It was found that the ...

Abstract: A method is presented to reduce the lateral vibration amplitude of an unbalanced rotor accelerating or decelerating through its critical speed, by means of modulating the response phase with ...

Abstract: In global positioning system (GPS) positioning, the tropospheric delay is a systematic error. Mismodeling of the tropospheric delay results in a degradation of the estimated height component, and thus constitutes a limitation ...

Abstract: Craze cracking and clad disbonding typically occur in cladding due to thermomechanical cycling and high property mismatch between dissimilar materials in a coke drum. The thermoelasticity problem ...

Abstract: This paper extends the build-operate-transfer (BOT) concession model (BOTCcM) to a new method for identifying a concession period by using bargaining-game theory. Concession period is one of the most important decision ...
