Abstract: The dynamic behavior of deepwater platforms can be improved by maximizing wave force cancellation at their natural frequencies of interest. This can be achieved by optimizing both the platform ...

Abstract: A diffusion limited model has been described previously to simulate accurately the thermal NOx emission processes in various gas turbine combustors for fuels containing negligible amounts of fuel ...

Abstract: A dynamic theory of thin beams undergoing large deflection but small strain is derived. Geometric nonlinearities are preserved but the material is assumed to behave linearly. Contributions due ...

Abstract: An experimentally verified NOx emission model for gas turbines has been reported previously. The model has been modified to determine the NOx emission levels of various fuels as compared to ...

Abstract: A simple numerical procedure is proposed for the solution of the two-dimensional power-law flow equations for a wide channel with a moving boundary. The results are used to construct a complete ...

Abstract: Minimum-weight design of a portal frame for alternative loadings is discussed. A linear programming formulation is used. The concept of Foulkes mechanism as the necessary and sufficient condition ...

Abstract: The formation of a lubricating film by grease in conditions pertinent to elastohydrodynamic lubrication is studied in a disk machine, and the thickness measured by means of a magnetic reluctance ...
