Abstract: Galloping of power line conductors is a random phenomenon. Its randomness is characterized by several random variables including wind speed, wind direction, ice shape, wind angle of attack, ice thinness, span length, ...

Abstract: Four additional sets of aerodynamic data are presented for 4 bluff shapes. The data include aerodynamic lift, drag, and pitching moment in a range of the angle-of-attack from zero to 180 deg. The Reynolds number was 105,000. ...

Abstract: The design and performance of the 20,000-hp reverse-reduction gears and clutches installed in the GTS Adm. Wm. M. Callaghan , the first large high-speed cargo ship designed for gas-turbine ...

Abstract: The application of wind tunnel data to the calculation of vibration amplitudes includes the effect of structural damping. The linear theory is also reviewed and compared to the nonlinear theory. the asymptote for a vibration ...

Abstract: The use of wind tunnel data, lift and drag, together with a method of analysis, leads to estimates of gallop amplitudes. No damping is considered. The nonlinear analysis is similar to the describing‐function method used ...

Abstract: The present standard for field measurement of aeolian vibration is an IEEE standard formulated and approved more than 20 years ago. It is based on the concept of measured “bending amplitude

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder, effecting about 20% of cardiac surgical patients. While often benign, it leads to a prolonged hospital stay, and potentially to ...

Abstract: Connective tissues are biological composites comprising of collagen fibrils embedded in (and reinforcing) the hydrated proteoglycan-rich (PG) gel within the extracellular matrices (ECMs). Age-related ...
