Vibration isolation is one of the most prominent characteristics of elastic metamaterial with negative effective mass. In this work, we show that a carbon nanotube filled with a linear mass chain can behave like an elastic ...

Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) are used to shield hot sections of gas turbine engines, helping to prevent the melting of metallic surfaces. This paper proposes a Five-phase model to calculate the effective thermal conductivity ...

In this industry-academia collaboration, a multi-platform hybrid numerical simulation was performed to assess the effectiveness of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) to be installed in a high-rise condominium located in Downtown ...

In the present study, the free vibration response of symmetric thickness-and-width-tapered (doubly-tapered) laminated composite beams is investigated. Considering the continuous-plies-interspersed ply drop-off configuration, ...

The formulation, tuning and performance of a signal prediction algorithm as applied to the determination of a Go-NoGo state are discussed. Simulations were used to tune and assess the performance of the signal prediction ...

Notches are inevitable in many components and structures due to design limitations. In addition, they are the locations for stress concentration and are susceptible to fatigue failure. As a result, the cyclic stress/strain ...

The main goal of this paper is, to suggest improved higher order refined theory to the analysis of perfectly bonded stack sandwich and composite laminates with usual type lamination configurations. The analysis incorporates ...

With increasing energy cost and constraints on emission standards, there is a strong need to reduce energy consumption and/or increase equipment efficiency. Refrigeration systems are the third largest use of electricity ...

In this paper, one-dimensional coupled heat and mass transfer is studied using the finite volume method. The simulated results are compared with the experimental results and show good agreements with the experimental data. ...

Effective zones of high pressure coolant (HPC) have been identified in turning performing a wide range of machining operations on 304 stainless steel using uncoated carbide inserts. The effects of triple coolant jets on ...
