Details related to modeling and experimental analyses for a new type of specimen, which is proposed to be used for mixed mode-I/II fracture tests, are presented. The specimen is similar to a T-shape and requires less ...

In this paper, a new test system is proposed to be used for three-dimensional mixed mode-I/II/III fracture tests. Considering different types of configurations under high mode mixity combinations, three-dimensional stress ...

A notch analysis method using a finite element basis is integrated with two critical plane multiaxial fatigue criteria to simulate combined bending-torsion fatigue of SAE 1045 notched specimen. For both in-phase and ...

The thermal control of future nanosatellite will be challenging due to dedicated panel surface area for radiation. The thermal control concept is to keep the payload within allowable temperature ranges. In order to predict ...

This paper discusses the analysis of voltage disturbances in the time scale domain using Lifting Based Wavelet Transforms (LBWT) to quantify Power Quality (PQ) events. Characteristics of the investigated signals are generated ...

The numerical and experimental study of heat transfer characteristics in an enhanced channel with turbulent flow is presented. Numerical computations have been done for a periodic element of the channel with periodically ...

Pumps are irreplaceable products in various systems and processes. Pumps can be manufactured in various size in industry. The mini pumps are commonly used in some household electrical appliances, automobile etc. Some pumping ...

Single-zone Wiebe-function HCCI combustion models tend to over-predict the peak cylinder pressure. The over-prediction arises because it is not possible for the standard Wiebe function to fully match both the slower ...

Experiments were performed to determine convection heat transfer characteristics for the rounding of the protruding peaks of a corrugated channel. Results were carried out for a Prandtl number of 0.7 in the Reynolds number ...
