Viscosity Reduction in Diluted Polyethylene Melts: A Comparative Study of Semiempirical, Viscoelastic, and Equation‐of‐State Modeling Frameworks

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic of the in‐line rheometry setup and the evaluation of three distinct modeling frameworks (semiempirical, viscoelastic, and EOS) to predict viscosity reduction in diluted polyethylene melts via time‐concentration superposition (Illustration generated via ChatGPT).

Performance of gas-lubricated cruciform-mounted tilting-pad journal bearings and a damped flexibly mounted spiral-groove thrust bearing [PDF]

open access: yes
A test program was conducted to determine the performance characteristics of gas-lubricated cruciform-mounted tilting-pad journal bearings and a damped spiral-groove thrust bearing designed for the Brayton cycle rotating unit (BRU).

Cryostratigraphy of Rhythmic Segregated Ice in Colluvium and Implications for Permafrost Slope Stability

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.

In Situ Investigation of Microstructure Evolution and Stress Generation During Low‐Pressure Carburizing and Quenching by Means of Synchrotron X‐Ray Diffraction

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
This study uses in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction at the German Electron Synchrotron to analyze low‐pressure carburizing (LPC) in steels. The findings reveal surface carbon saturation and carbide formation kinetics, and phase‐specific stress development during quenching. The results show carbide kinetics depend on steel grade and size, while stress

Orbital transfer vehicle oxygen turbopump technology. Volume 2: Nitrogen and ambient oxygen testing [PDF]

open access: yes
The testing of a rocket engine oxygen turbopump using high pressure ambient temperature nitrogen and oxygen as the turbine drive gas in separate test series is discussed. The pumped fluid was liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen.

A study on Mechanical Seepage Characteristics of Coal‐Rock Mass Under the Combined Action of Multiple Factors

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of a triaxial fluid–solid coupling device based on the mapping function. ABSTRACT In deep coal mining, the influence of temperature–pressure coupling on the mechanical properties of coal is a crucial factor inducing dynamic disasters.

Why have hydrostatic bearings been avoided as a stabilizing element for rotating machines [PDF]

open access: yes
The advantages are discussed of hydrostatic, high pressure bearings as providers of higher margin of stability to the rotor/bearing systems. It is apparent that deliberate use of hydrostatic bearing high pressure lubricated (any gas or liquid) can easily

Identifying the pre‐Odra river system with hydroacoustic and seismic reflection imagery offshore Rügen Island, southern Baltic Sea

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the course and dynamics of ancient river systems, such as the pre‐Odra, provides valuable insights into the post‐glacial evolution of landscapes and riverine processes. The northwest‐trending pre‐Odra was an important drainage system of the European mainland into the Baltic Basin during and after the Scandinavian Ice Sheet retreat ...

Effects of vibration and shock on the performance of gas-bearing space-power Brayton cycle turbomachinery. Part 4: Suppression of rotor-bearing system vibrations through flexible bearing support damping [PDF]

open access: yes
A bearing damper, operating on the support flexure of a pivoted pad in a tilting-pad type gas-lubricated journal bearing, has been designed, built, and tested under externally-applied random vibrations. The NASA Brayton Rotating Unit (BRU), a 36,000 rpm,
