Comparison of the force and torque transfer for different cam profiles
(2021-09-01)
This study presents static load and torque distribution measurements in groove cams for sinusoidal and cycloidal cam profiles. In this thesis, two different designs and apparatuses were developed and built for the static ...
Effect of diameter ratios on the flow-sound interaction of the straight circular finned cylinders
(2020-01-01)
Finned tubes that are widely used in heat exchangers could be susceptible to the flow-excited acoustic resonance that generates intense pressure fluctuations, which may lead to premature fatigue failure of the tubes. This ...
Modeling and analysis of truck tire-terrain interaction
(2020-04-01)
One of the key factors for improving the mobility and operating efficiency of trucks is the understanding of the tire-terrain interaction characteristics. Due to the broad range of terrains that trucks may operate over, ...
