Vibration Response Characteristics of Tandem Two Circular Cylinders Subjected to a Two-Phase Cross Flow—Effects of Pitch-to-Diameter Ratio
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)This paper deals experimentally with the comparison of air bubble effects on the vibration of two circular cylinders installed in tandem at pitch-to-diameter ratios of 1.5 and 3.0. Experiments ... -
Study of Unsteady Flow in a Heat Exchanger by the Method of Characteristics
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)The one-dimensional, unsteady flow in an air-to-air heat exchanger is studied. The governing equations are derived and the method of characteristics with the uniform interval scheme is used in ... -
An Improved Flange Bolt-Up Procedure Using Experimentally Determined Elastic Interaction Coefficients
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)Uniform bolt stress (±2 percent) was obtained in a one-pass, tension-controlled, bolt-up procedure. This was done by experimentally determining elastic interaction coefficients. The coefficients ... -
Comments on the Problem of Crack Extension From a Defect in a Weld
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)The paper discusses the problem of crack extension in a weld in an engineering structure, and how this relates to crack extension in a small specimen of weld material. For the case where ... -
Leakage Flow-Induced Vibrations of Heat Exchanger Fins
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)The failure of a number of fins of a large two-stage reciprocating compressor intercooler was studied. It appeared that leakage flow across the ends of the fins excited the vibrations and ... -
Elastic-Plastic Fracture of Circumferential Through-Wall Cracked Pipe Welds Subject to Bending
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)A methodology is proposed to carry out elastic-plastic fracture analysis of through-wall cracked ductile pipe weldments subjected to pure bending loads. It is based on deformation theory of ... -
A Study of Cyclic Thermal Straining in a Welded Joint, Using a Closed-Loop, Servo-Controlled Testing Machine
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)For investigating the origin of residual stresses in welded joints, the transient thermal stresses in a carbon-manganese-silicon steel (JIS SM41B), a cast martensitic stainless steel (JIS SCS5), ... -

A Numerical/Experimental Approach to Software Development for Thermoforming Simulations (Survey Paper)
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)This paper describes a combined numerical and experimental approach to the development of a software package for simulating the thermoforming process. In this process thin polymer sheets are ... -
Water Hammer Response of Flexible Piping by Component Synthesis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)Water hammer pressure in piping is modified by the consequent motion of the piping. In general, accurate estimates of dynamic pressure and pipe displacement must account for this interaction. ... -
State-of-the-Art Review of Pressure Relief Valve Design, Testing and Modeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)It is well known that the response of a rail tank car to exterior heating (e.g., fire engulfment) is significantly affected by the operating characteristics of the pressure relief valve (PRV). ... -
Mechanical Design of Small-Bore Electromagnetic Launchers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)The development of special-purpose pressure vessels for small-bore, high-velocity electromagnetic launchers has characteristically employed low modulus composites and bolted steel frames. Such designs ... -
A Rational Procedure for Analyzing Flanged and Flued Expansion Joints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)This paper presents a procedure for computing the axial stiffness of “formed head” type of expansion joints. The method given herein is an extension of the plate and shell theory adaptation ... -
Displacements in Oil Storage Tanks Caused by Localized Differential Settlement
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)This paper presents design charts for predicting the maximum radial distortion of open-topped storage tanks caused by localized differential settlement of the tank foundations. It is well known ... -
A Proposed K1 Solution for Long Surface Cracks in Complex Geometries
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)The finite element method is used to derive a general stress intensity factor expression for straight-fronted and circumferential surface cracks subjected to an arbitrary stress field. The ... -
Dynamic Response of Composite Pressure Vessels to Inertia Loads
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)A new analytical model has been developed in order to investigate the potential benefits of using fiber-reinforced composites in pressure vessels that undergo rigid-body motions. The model consists ... -
Creep Buckling Under Varying Loads
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1991)Creep buckling analyses under stepwise varying loads are performed on a circular cylindrical shell with initial imperfection subjected to axial compression and a partial spherical shell under ... -
