'Low density polyethylene has been oriented into a state of
transverse isotropy by cold-drawing an originally isotropic blank in
uniaxial tension, and the non-linear creep behaviour of the material
has been completely ...
The literature on the leading edge viscous interaction phenomena has "been reviewed. Theoretical studies of the leading edge bluntness and the boundary - layer displace¬ment effects have been made by using a combination ...
The basic properties of arcs in flowing ga-,es, minimum
ignition energy and quenching distances are the\focal points of this
research. The flow parameters turbulence, pressure, velocities, fuel-air ratio etc. are varied ...
This research has been concerned with the oxidation
and corrosion of iron and mild steels, with particular
reference to the importance of the mechanical properties
of the surface oxides formed. A vibration technique ...
This thesis reports the results of a detailed programme of
research on airblast atomization carried out using a specially
designed plain-jet atomizer in which the fuel is injected into
a high velocity airstream in the ...
Hydrodynamic oil film bearings exhibit lateral flexibility which
influences the dynamics of rotors they support. This lateral flexibility is specified by coefficients which relate forces generated by
the oil film to the ...
Submerged arc weld deposits were produced using a 40 mm thick
low Sulphur, low Phosphorous, Carbon Manganese microalloyed steel
to B»S. 45d0 : 50D. The welding consumables used were a 4 mm diameter
C. 1'2/fc Mn Wire ...
Stationary prefilming-cup airblast atomizers, in
which the fuel is first spread into a thin cylindrical
sheet and then exposed on both sides to high velocity
air, have several important advantages over other common
methods ...
The thesis is directed to the theoretical determination of the
behaviour of rigid skin polyurethane foam beams reinforced with thin
walled steel sections. The aim is to enable the designer to predict
the behaviour of ...
The flow inside a vortex controlled diffuser was studied experimentally and theoretically. The experimental side of the study included the following:
(1) The selection of a suitable laser Doppler velocimeter for the ...
The present thesis covers the pioneering effort of establishing an infrastructure for conducting research into the analysis of
Acoustic Emission signatures, with emphasis being placed upon the
recovery of the true surface ...
The metal transfer process in MIG welding has been investigated. The
heat balance of the melting process, forces acting on the wire tip and
droplets, and droplet movement were examined quantitatively both under
steady ...
The erosion prone areas on the blade surfaces of a centrifugal impeller handling granular solids have been investigated both theoretically and eperimentally.
The objective of the theoretical study is to develop software ...
The aim of this work is to study the unsteady response of
rotor blades of a lightly loaded single stage axial flow
compressor experiencing inlet flow distortions in forms of
circumferential pressure distortions and ...
The origin of the wind-turbine is discussed and its subsequent
development reviewed.
Various types of sail wind-turbine are described and their
advantages and different types detailed. Their appropriateness for
driving ...
Two methods are presented
characteristics of bodies
SUMMARY
for predicting the aerodynamic

The first method is limited to incompressible flow and makes
use of panels of ring sources ...
The results presented cover broad aspects of a quantitative investigation into the elecrolytic etching and polishing of metals and alloys through photographically produced dielectric stencils (Photoresists).
A study of ...
The influence of process parameters on deposition and fusion
characteristics of mild steel with Pulsed Gas Metal Arc Welding has
been investigated using a transistorized power supply.
A simple model of melting behaviour ...
A general method for the optimal design of large laminated
composite structures, that allows full design variable (ply
thickness and orientation) freedom, has been developed .. The
number of variables and constraints, ...
Transonic flows are simulated within convergent
divergent nozzles and within turbomachinery blade rows.
The flow is represented by the conservative full potential
equation approximated by a nine-node central-difference
scheme, ...
