The manufacture of laminated composite materials using a thermosetting resin
matrix is a complex process that can be understood with a knowledge of cure kinetics,
heat transfer, and structural mechanics. During laminate ...
Arrays of biologically inspired artificial hair sensors for flow detection are being considered to provide small unmanned aerial vehicles greater platform stability through gust mitigation. Analytical models of hair sensor ...
Jet impingement is often employed within the leading edge of modern gas turbine airfoils to combat the extreme heat loads incurred within this region. This experimental investigation employs a transient liquid crystal ...
Renewable sources of energy, such as wind, are necessary to meet the growing demand as conventional energy sources are depleted. Very little research has been accomplished to improve wind turbine performance in Class 2 ...
This work employs the rod chain model of Wang et al. (2006) to study the motion of discrete flexible fibers. Results are presented for both individual fibers and a stochastic distribution of fibers to study the variations ...
