Abstract: Out-of-plane strains and stresses are determined using reciprocity for the central region of very long bars (approaching infinite length) of uniform transverse cross section subjected to the same ...

Abstract: The study of conductive heat transfer with phase change — often called the Stefan problem — includes some of the most intractable mathematical areas of heat transfer. Exact solutions are ...

Abstract: The heat transfer problem for cylinders embedded in a medium with variable thermal properties cannot be solved exactly if phase change occurs. Approximate solutions have been found using the ...

Abstract: Exact solutions to problems of conductive heat transfer with solidification are rare due to the nonlinearity of the equations. The heat balance integral technique is used to obtain an approximate ...

Abstract: Orthopedic appliances of type 316 SMO were examined after removal from human subjects. Fractographic evidence, macroscopic and microscopic, is presented together with the overall incidence of ...

Abstract: The foreknowledge of the minimum NPSH (“net positive suction head”) required for a cavitation-free performance of centrifugal pumps is important for a safe and sound operation of these machines. ...

Abstract: An empirical correlation of rotating stall inception points of elementary compressors (isolated rotors, stages without prerotation, complete single stages, and multi-stage machines with repeating ...
