Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransverse Velocity, Transverse Boundary Shear Stress and Flow Deviation in Meandering Open ChannelsYoussef Ismail HafezThis study presents a novel approach for characterizing the mechanics of flow in mildly meandering open channels, specifically focusing on the development of a new vertical distribution equation for transverse velocity. Unlike existing equations in the literature that rely on complex logarithmic or integral forms or infinite series forms, which are impractical for hydraulic engineers, the proposed equation employs ordinary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Standard Statistical Distributions for Modeling Glass FractureDavid Kinsella, Johan Lindström, Kent PerssonExperimental data on the strength of new annealed float glass tested in an ambient environment was collected. A comparison was made between four standard distributions, the normal, lognormal, Gumbel and Weibull, with respect to the performance in modelling the strength. The Weibull distribution outperformed the normal and lognormal distributions when the data contained edge only failure origins. When the data … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresentation of the Mechanism in the CrossFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaThe cross-machine has frequent uses in mechanical assemblies, automation, robotics and mechanisms with various uses. In the present paper we want to present this type of mechanism with its main, geometric, cinematic, strengths and propose its study in its possible use as an internal combustion engine. In this novelty, the mechanism will have two types of operation, one when operated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of an Oscillating Sliding MechanismFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaA mechanism with an oscillating slider is a mechanism quite often used in the technique. It has some advantages over other similar mechanisms being able to work with accelerations and reduced forces under the same conditions with another similar mechanism. For example, an internal combustion engine could be built more efficiently with this mechanism, resulting in a motor that would … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite

PetrescuThis paper presents an algorithm for setting the dynamic parameters of the classic main mechanism of the internal combustion engines. One presents the dynamic, original, machine motion equations. The equation of motion of the machine that generates angular speed of the shaft (which varies with position and rotation speed) is deduced by conservation kinetic energy of the machine.
