Abstract: This paper proposes a novel precision replication procedure having two stages: a molding process and a replication process assisted by an infrared radiation from an external source, and possessing ...

Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to understand the interfacial deformation between pad and wire and the effect of the pad thickness, the pad hardness, and the tool shape on the interfacial ...

Abstract: In this paper, the damping force and the damping coefficient of a rotary magnetic damper consisting of several sector magnets and an arbitrarily shaped plate conductor with a circular cavity ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with a method for analyzing a rotary magnetic damper (eddy current brake) consisting of a number of sector magnets and a circular conductor. The analytical solution to ...

Abstract: In the present study, we numerically investigated drag-reducing turbulent channel flows by surfactant additives. Surfactant additives were assumed to be uniformly distributed in the entire flow ...

Abstract: Because of complicated channel geometry, horizontal coordinates are important in accurate and efficient computations of river flow. We propose a simplified horizontal coordinate system for river-flow simulation, referred ...

Abstract: Structures composed of a rotary disk and a shaft, which are fastened with bolts and nuts having tapered bearing surfaces, are loaded with a rotating-bending force. Upon investigation, two ...

Abstract: A micropump was developed using boiling and condensation in a microchannel. The length and hydraulic diameter of the semi-half-circle cross-section microchannel having two open tanks at both ends ...

Abstract: An analytical model for describing the effectiveness of a deepwater-type cylindrical tuned liquid damper (TLD) with a submerged net for suppressing horizontal vibration of structures is first ...
