Wind energy is a clean and renewable energy that can meet the increasing global demands of energy. In the current paper, a feasibility study and design of floating offshore wind energy turbine in United Arab Emirates (UAE) ...

In the oil production industry, crude oil is usually produced together with water from the reservoirs, and the immiscible mixtures of oil and water result in emulsions flow in the transporting pipelines. In this research ...

A novel approach to modeling plain journal bearings is presented. The journal is assumed to be cut open at the oil supply groove and modeled in Cartesian coordinates. The streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) finite ...

This paper discusses the suitability of Project-Based learning (PBL) in mechanical design education. We first introduce project-based learning and highlight its main differences with problem-based learning. We discuss the ...

The governing equations of piezo-thermoelastic materials show full coupling between mechanical, electric, and temperature fields. It is often assumed in the literature that in high-frequency oscillations, the coupling ...

The reliability of intrinsic thermocouples in temperature measurements in the water jet cooling process of hot steel plates is investigated using the finite-element method. It is found that the isothermal condition does ...

Two different finite-element formulations, the Lagrangian and the Eulerian, have been used extensively in the modeling of the orthogonal metal cutting process. Each of these formulations has some disadvantages that make ...

Experimental studies of the vibration of a cracked rotor are essential in the development of vibration monitoring techniques. The greatest difficulty in conducting experimental parameter studies is the extensive amount of ...

Piezoelectric actuators are increasingly used in modern fuel injectors due to their quick response, high efficiency, and excellent repeatability. Current understanding of the thermo-electro-mechanical performance of ...
