Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Oil Film Shape on Piston Ring and Liner Tribology Under Mixed LubricationAbbas Razavykia, Cristiana Delprete, Eugenio Brusa, Yaser HosseiniMechanical power loss reduction at lubricated reciprocating and rotating components is recognized as an approach to improve the efficiency and to reduce the emissions of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). To achieve these goals, the instantaneous investigation of lubrication characteristics is required. Piston ring pack is of paramount importance as it is known as major contributor to frictional losses and energy … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2021 · 6,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVehicle-Fixed-Frame Adaptive Controller and Intrinsic Nonlinear PID Controller for Attitude Stabilization of a Complex-Shaped Underwater VehicleChanaka Thushitha Bandara, Lakmali Nadeesha Kumari, Sanjeeva Maithripala, Asanga RatnaweeraIn this study we present attitude stabilization using a vehicle-fixed-frame adaptive controller and an intrinsic nonlinear PID controller for a low-speed Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), of complex shape. Controlling an AUV poses a huge challenge because of the non-linearity, time variance and unpredictable external disturbance, as well as because its dynamics and hydrodynamic parameters are difficult to identify due to … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 7 Dec 2020 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConvective Heat Transfer and Thermal Performance in a Circular Tube Heat Exchanger Inserted with U-Shaped BaffleAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiNumerical investigations on flow structure and heat transfer characteristic in a heat exchanger tube fitted with U-shaped baffle are presented. The U-shaped baffle is created from the concepts of orifice and inclined baffle. The influences of the baffle height (b/D = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25) and flow attack angle (α = 20°, 30° and 45°) of the U-shaped … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 6,951 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiomechanically Inspired Shape Memory Effect Machines Driven by Muscle like Acting NiTi AlloysRaffaella Aversa, Francesco Tamburrino, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.The research shows a bioinspired approach to be adopted to design of systems based on Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), a class of Smart Materials that has in common with muscles the capability to react to an impulse (thermal for SMAs) with a contraction. The biomechanically inspired machine that is discussed in the paper refers to the antagonistic muscles pairs, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 24 Nov 2016 · 9,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Investigation on Turbulent Forced Convection in Heating Channel Inserted with Discrete V-Shaped BafflesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe numerical examinations on flow visualization, heat transfer characteristic and performance improvement in a square duct inserted with discrete V-shaped baffles (DVB) are reported. The DVB is designed to reduce the pressure loss when compared with the V-shaped baffle. The influences of the flow blockage ratios (b/H, BR = 0.05-0.20), V-tip directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream) are investigated for Reynolds number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleResearch of the Process of Shaping Folded Filler of Sandwich Panels from CardboardIl'dus Zakirov, Alexandr Nikitin, Alexandr Naumov, Nargiz FaizullinaSandwich panels with the corrugated filler made of composite cardboard are used in building constructions, road sound dampening screens, etc. Taking into account that in industries applying sandwich panels, the demand for such filler is relatively high, the competitiveness of the product must be at a high level. This requires developing a high-performance industrial technology to produce it. These production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 24 Nov 2015 · 6,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of a Magnetorheological Finishing Machine for Small-Bore Part of Irregular Shape and Experimental StudyWang Tingzhang, Chen Mingjun, Liu Henan, Xu JiangMagnetorheological finishing machine tool with small ball-end permanent-magnet polishing head is proposed as a method to solve the problem that small-bore parts of irregular shape with small curvature radius concave surface cannot be polished by traditional magnetorheological finishing machine tool. The four-axis linkage magnetorheological finishing machine tool with modular open numerical system and easy-operating man-machine interactive interface is developed. Then … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
