Abstract: A theoretical analysis is presented for the membrane and bending stresses around an elliptic hole in a long, thin, circular cylindrical shell with the major axis of the hole parallel to the ...

Abstract: A method for determining a linear wear comparable to a surface roughness height is described here. The method allows estimation of the wear by results of profilometry of the worn surface only. ...

Abstract: Because of his close association with Aristotle, the contributions to meteorology made by Theoplirastus have been overlooked and it has been often thought that Theophrastus simply enlarged and expounded upon the theories ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric and asymmetric in-plane, free vibration of annular disks using the finite element method is discussed. The in-plane behavior is analyzed by annular ring segments using a Fourier ...

Abstract: A new type of cylindrical worm-gear drive is presented. The worm is ground by a grinding wheel whose profile consists of two circular arcs, and the obtained worm profile is concave. The teeth ...

Abstract: This paper describes a hybrid mobility system that combines the advantages of both legged and wheeled locomotion. The legs of the hybrid mobility system permit it to surmount obstacles and ...

Abstract: Radiative transfer calculations employing observed values of the ice crystal size distribution demonstrate that the absorption of solar radiation by cirrus clouds can make a significant contribution to the diabatic heating ...

Abstract: Comparisons are made between winds obtained from EOLE balloons and winds determined from cloud motions as observed from the Applications Technology Satellites, ATS-1 and ATS-3. The results show that the mean winds determined ...

Abstract: For the first time, an integral form of one-dimensional heat transfer equation in a semi-infinite domain with a boundary, moving arbitrarily in time, and a heat source, depending arbitrarily on time and space location, is ...

Abstract: The equations described free longitudinal and lateral vibrations of the rectilinear elastic beams with the rectangular cross section are derived based on the theory of linear elasticity and the method of integrodifferential ...
