Abstract: An analytical study of the compressibility effects on the characteristics of two-dimensional slider bearings is made. By the variational method, it is shown that, for a given bearing length, ...

Abstract: Results obtained from a study of the indeterminateness of the boundary conditions for laminar “free” mixing of two parallel streams under constant pressure are presented in this paper. A method ...

Abstract: The distensibility of pulmonary veins of cats, in the diametric range of 100–1200 μm, was studied as a function of the venous pressure pv and pleural pressure pPL , while the alveolar air ...

Abstract: Steel bridges are subjected to live loads which produce variable stress ranges in bridge components. At welded bridge details, the existence of initial defects and residual stresses eliminate ...

Abstract: When synthesizing the available data of vessel elasticity of mammalian lung from the literature, the lack of data in the intermediate range of vessel sizes becomes evident. In an effort to ...

Abstract: Available experimental data frorm more than 1,200 previous fatigue tests and some fatigue and fracture tests on full‐scale members are compiled and examined in conjunction with the details and measured live load stresses ...

Abstract: Micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) translational tabs are introduced for active load control on aerodynamic surfaces such as wind turbine rotor blades. Microtabs are mounted near the trailing edge of ...
