Abstract: This paper describes a systematic computational design system for two-dimensional turbine cascades. The system includes a sequence of calculations in which airfoil profiles are designed from ...

Abstract: A plane-strain finite element analysis for patterned elastic-plastic layered media was performed in order to elucidate the effect of surface geometry on the deformation and stress fields due to ...

Abstract: Surface cracking in a multi-layered medium due to sliding of a rigid asperity was analyzed using linear elastic fracture mechanics and the finite element method. Overlapping of the crack faces ...

Abstract: An elastic-plastic finite element analysis of a sphere in normal and sliding contact with a layered medium possessing a patterned surface with regularly spaced rectangular pads was conducted in ...

Abstract: Contact fatigue of a layered medium consisting of an elastic surface layer and three elastic-plastic underlying layers in sliding contact with a rigid and rough surface was analyzed with the ...

Abstract: Material degradation and failure in rolling contact components are often associated with surface crack initiation and propagation under repeated contact loading. In the presence of lubricating ...

Abstract: Thermal stresses in layered electronic assemblies are one of the causes of the mechanical failure of electronic packages. A simple but accurate method of estimating these thermal stresses is ...

Abstract: In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the development of theories and applications associated with structural vibration control. Integrating the nonlinear mapping ability with ...
