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 ...

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 ...

This work dealt with elasto-plastic analysis of 2-dimensional and axisymmetric problems using the finite-element and boundary-element techniques. The analysis is based upon a vide range of yield criteria and hardening ...

Mechanical seals are used extensively on rotary applications where the sealed fluid is under pressure. They may rightly be considered to be generally reliable and trouble free, many giving lives of over 3 years. However, ...

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 ...
