Design of a harmonic drive test apparatus for data acquisition and control
(1997)
Harmonic drive gear reducers were developed during the mid-1950's and are used in many industrial and military applications. The harmonic drive is a compact, "in-line" gear reducer capable of producing reduction ratios of ...
Low Dean number flows in helical ducts of rectangular cross section
(1996)
The flow in a helical duct is characterized by increased fluid mixing, accomplished by the inducement of a secondary flow in the plane normal to the helix centerline. Two independent phenomena interact to produce this ...
Wavelets in the solution of thermal radiative transfer equation
(1998)
The wavelet bases approximation idea which is first proposed by Daubechies is successfully introduced in both nongray and linear anisotropic scattering radiation fields.
In nongray medium, wavelet bases are used in frequency ...
On the electromagnetic evaporation of a molten metal drop
(1992)
The Electromagnetic Vaporization of Metal Particles (EVMP) process uses an alternating magnetic field to induce eddy-current heating within a metal particle. This heating causes the outer shells of the droplet to evaporate, ...
Effects of stabilizer bars on road vehicle ride quality
(1994)
In an effort to improve the safety and road-holding capabilities of vehicles, manufacturers have begun a trend toward increasing vehicle body roll resistance by introducing stiffer roll-stabilizer bars. In this study vehicle ...
Residual flexibility methods for decoupled analysis of integrated structural systems
(1998)
Methods of dynamic analysis of large structural systems used in aerospace applications are examined. Full-system solutions are undesirable due to computational cost and logistics issues. Traditional substructuring methods ...
Heat transfer in square helical ducts
(1994)
A three dimensional numerical investigation of steady laminar flow and heat transfer is undertaken to determine the developing as well as fully developed temperature fields. Physical interpretation is given for the enhancement ...
A numerical study of a laminar, compressible boundary layer about an airfoil
(1992)
The primary goal of this study is to develop a finite element method for the calculation of an attached, two-dimensional, laminar, compressible boundary layer about an air-foil in a subsonic free stream. An introduction ...
Exploratory study on the use of baffles in cavity flow for the suppression of convection and temperature oscillations in microgravitational environment
(1993)
The quality of crystals grown from melt depends on the flow field in the melt. To simulate melt conditions, a finite element analysis is performed on flow in a heated cavity under the driving forces of natural convection, ...
A prosthetic hand with tactile sensing
(1994)
With recent advances in myoelectric signal processing, powered prosthetic hands with myoelectric control have become more accepted among users of prosthetic hands. Inspite of this progress, the hands that are currently ...
