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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...
