Maximizing allowable disturbances in uncertain, non-minimum phase unstable systems
(1991)
A frequency domain design methodology for maximizing the allowable size of step disturbances for a class of uncertain plants subjected to hard time domain constraints on the control, internal states and the output is ...
Flow field study of a rectangular jet
(1990)
A rectangular turbulent jet has a complex three dimensional flow field. These jets are frequently used in industry, however their flow field dynamics are not understood. The objective of this study was to increase the ...
An experimental and numerical study of turbulent heat transfer in orthogonally rotating two-pass ducts
(1995)
A heat transfer study from rotating two-pass ducts is presented. A rotating two-pass duct simulates the conditions in a serpentine coolant passage of a turbine blade. This work is mostly experimental with support from ...
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow
(1992)
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow was investigated. The rotating cavity has two plane disks and a cylindrical rim (shroud). The ratio of the rim span to the disk outer radius is 0.4 ...
An experimental comparison of robot kinematic calibration methods
(1992)
It has been shown that the kinematic calibration can help to improve the accuracy of the industrial robot. This research has involved using two different calibration methods, the CMM and VBAT, to calibrate PUMA 560 ...
Intelligent tutoring system design for engineering science courses
(1991)
Recent changes in computer technology have made the development of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) a much more attractive proposition. Reviewing the current educational engineering software, two major deficiencies ...
Thermohydrodynamic analysis of product-lubricated hydrostatic bearings in turbulent regime
(1992)
A bulk-flow thermohydrodynamic (THD) analysis is developed for accurate predictions of the static and dynamic performance characteristics of turbulent flow product-lubricated hydrostatic journal bearings (HJBs). Pointwise ...
Gas turbine film cooling and heat transfer measurements using a transient liquid crystal technique
(1995)
Modern gas turbines have high inlet temperatures due to which the various components undergo severe thermal stress and fatigue. Detailed measurements of heat transfer to gas turbine components from the damaging mainstream ...
Deformation micromechanisms in polymeric matrices and carbon fibre reinforced composites
(1989)
The objective of this study is to identify the deformation micromechanisms operative in carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites and in the base polymers that act as the matrix material. The aim is to understand the ...
