Retreat of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, over the next 100 years using various ice flow models, ice shelf melt scenarios and basal friction laws [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2018
Thwaites Glacier (TG), West Antarctica, has experienced rapid, potentially irreversible grounding line retreat and mass loss in response to enhanced ice shelf melting.

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Analysis of Nonlinear Vibration Characteristics and Whirl Behavior of Dual-Rotor Systems with Inter-Shaft Rub Impact

open access: yesMathematics
Previous studies on rub-impact faults have mainly focused on the rub-impact between rotors and stators, with less research on inter-rotor rub impact. The impact of inter-rotor rub impact on rotor nonlinear vibration is particularly significant.

The applicability of MFD thrusters to satellite power systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
The high power self field MPD thruster uses electromagnetic forces rather than electrostatic to accelerate a neutral plasma. The most attractive application of MPD thrusters to satellite power systems is in the area of electric propulsion for a cargo ...

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.

Characteristic analysis method for integrated multi-parameter hydro-viscous speed control system

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hydro-viscous clutch has become an inevitable choice for special vehicle transmissions. As a nonlinear dynamic system with large lagging link, its timing performance is affected by input rotational speed, lubricating oil temperature and pressure and ...

Effect of Compressor Root Slot Structure on Suppressing Corner Separation and Aerodynamic Parameter Deterioration Induced by Seal Cavity Leakage Flow

open access: yesAerospace
To alleviate the adverse effects of the flow-field structure caused by interstage sealing structures on the aerodynamic characteristics of compressor cascades, a blade-root through-slot structure was designed in this study.

Artificial three-body equilibria for hybrid low-thrust propulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper proposes a new concept of creating artificial equilibrium points in the circular restricted three body problem, where the third body uses a hybrid of solar sail and solar electric propulsion.
