Head Kinematic Measurements and Finite Element Modeling of Canadian Armed Forces Operators Firing Three Long-Range Rifle Configurations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) symptoms have been associated with repeated exposure to the recoil of long-range rifles. However, there is limited physical data on head responses to rifle recoil and no consistent ... -
On the Performance of Common-Core Turboprops
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Turboprops offer a promising pathway for sustainable aviation, as they can achieve high levels of propulsive efficiency and reduced installed drag compared to high bypass ratio turbofans. Turboprop engine cores, ... -
Deconstructing Triboinformatics: A Conceptual Framework for the Intersection of Machine Learning and Tribology
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Tribology has traditionally functioned as an empirical discipline, heavily reliant on physical experimentation rather than unified first principles. To address the resulting epistemic bottlenecks, the paradigm ... -
Decoupling Hardness From Erosion Resistance in High-Entropy Alloys
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. One important mechanism of component degradation in particle-rich environments is solid particle erosion. Due to their unique mechanical reactions and compositional complexity, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have ... -
Research on Water-Lubricated Bearings in Ultra-Long Shafting Systems: Constraint Mechanisms, Lubrication State Optimization, and Flow-Field Solution Methods
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Water-lubricated bearings (WLBs) in ultra-long shafting systems (ULSS) operate under highly complex service conditions, with the coupling effects of external loads, shaft deformation, and harsh marine environments. ... -
Psycho-Tribology: A New Branch of Tribology Has Emerged
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Tribology is the science and engineering dealing with friction, wear, and lubrication, and it was practiced already in ancient times, but the term tribology was only coined in 1966 after the Greek word Tribos ... -
Comparison of Two Different Finite Element Modeling Pipelines for Virtual Mechanical Testing of the Distal Third Metacarpal Bone in Thoroughbred Racehorses
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Condylar stress fracture of the third metacarpal bone (MC3) in Thoroughbred racehorses is a common catastrophic injury, and identification of horses at heightened risk remains subjective. Standing computed ... -
Dispersion of Intradiscally Injected Particles is Limited by Size
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Due to its avascular nature, treatment of degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is typically carried out via needle injection into the inner nucleus pulposus (NP) of the disc. Proposed treatments range ... -
Application of the Ree-Eyring Model to Liquid Lubricants
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. One of the many contributions of Professor Ward Winer to tribology was his insistence that constitutive equations for liquid lubricants have a basis in empirical fact. He was awarded the 1986 Tribology Gold Medal ... -
Viability of Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors Embedded Within Engine-Scale Turbine Blades
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Accurate predictions of the external and internal temperature distributions of a gas turbine blade are essential to optimizing cooling systems and ensuring blade integrity. Small temperature variations can ... -
The Calculation of Foot Bolt Group Connection for Pressure Vessels Under Action of Nozzle Loads
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. The computation of bolts in pipe flange connections has received significant attention in engineering practice. However, few studies have systematically been done to compute member stiffness in the design of tie ... -
Strategies for Controlling Metallurgical Transformations and Mechanical Properties in Al/Steel Friction Welding: A Review
