A turbofan engine uses what is called the Brayton cycle, a process similar to a super-powered air pump and heater. The ...

A collaborative research team led by Prof. Ma Yanwei from the Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEE) of the Chinese ...

Osmium and Iridium: These are two of the densest and most rigid metals. They are very hard and resistant to deformation, but ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

Correct. The SI unit of viscosity is Pascal-second (Pa·s). The Poise (P) is a CGS unit, where 1 Pa·s = 10 P. Centipoise (cP) is also commonly used, where 1 cP = 0.001 Pa·s.

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

The investigation into the tragic crash of UPS Flight 2976 on Tuesday evening is focusing on the fiery history of the CF6 ...

Rheological measurements are among the simplest and most informative ways to discover the dynamics of polymeric fluids and solids. Linear, or small amplitude, rheology gives a “fingerprint” of the ...
