Orbits in a generalized two-body problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The two-body problem is a well-known case of the general central force problem with an attractive, inverse square force. However, there are forms of spacecraft propulsion, such as solar sails and minimagnetospheric plasmapropulsion, which generate a ...

Microstructure‐Controlled Crack Propagation and Fracture Resistance in MoSiBTiC Alloy Revealed by Multiscale Extended Finite Element Method Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A two‐dimensional multiscale finite element analysis framework was established for the first‐generation MoSiBTiC alloy, and the mechanical and fracture‐related parameters of the constituent phases were calibrated through experiments and simulations. The framework provides a basis for analyzing crack propagation behavior in its complex microstructure ...

From active stresses and forces to self-propulsion of droplets [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017
We study the self-propulsion of spherical droplets as simplified hydrodynamic models of swimming micro-organisms or artificial micro-swimmers. In contrast to approaches that start from active velocity fields produced by the system, we consider active interface tractions, body force densities and active stresses as the origin of autonomous swimming. For

Techno-environmental assessment of marine gas turbines for the propulsion of merchant ships [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This research study seeks to evaluate the techno-economic and environmental implications of a variety of aero-derivative marine gas turbine cycles that have been modelled for the propulsion of different types of merchant ships.

Fatigue Crack Initiation and Growth in Nanocrystalline Ni at Multiple Length‐Scales

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Overview of miniaturized in situ SEM fatigue setup and resultant fatigue crack growth data for nanocrystalline Ni. The presented study focuses on the analysis of fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) in focused ion beam‐notched microcantilevers prepared from nanocrystalline (NC) Ni as a model material.

The Evaluation of the Damping Characteristics of a Hard Coating on Titanium

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2007
Engine failures due to fatigue have cost the Air Force an estimated $400 million dollars per year over the past two decades. Damping treatments capable of reducing the internal stresses of fan and turbine blades to levels where fatigue is less ...

Generation of propulsive force via vertical undulations in snakes

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2021
ABSTRACT Lateral undulation is the most widespread mode of terrestrial vertebrate limbless locomotion, in which posteriorly propagating horizontal waves press against environmental asperities (e.g. grass, rocks) and generate propulsive reaction forces.
