A flywheel angular velocity model for misfire and disturbance simulation is presented. Applications of the model are, for example, initial parameter calibration and robustness analysis of misfire detection algorithms. An analytical cylinder pressure model is used to model cylinder torque and a multi-body model with torsional flexibilities is used to model crankshaft and driveline oscillations. ...

The flow of a couple stress fluid generated by performing longitudinal and torsional oscillations of a porous circular cylinder subjected to constant suction at the surface of the cylinder is studied. A finite difference method is proposed to analyze the velocity components, in an infinite expanse of an incompressible couple stress fluid under vanishing couple stresses of type A condition or su...

The optimal management of pathologic long bone lesions remains a challenge in orthopedic surgery. The goal of the current study was to investigate the effect of defect depth on the torsional properties of the distal femur. A laterally placed distal metaphyseal cylindrical defect was milled in the cortex of the distal femur in 20 composite models. The proximal extent of the defects was constant....

This paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. The solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by Spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  Numerical calculations are also carried out for FGM (Functionally graded material...

In this paper, the natural frequencies of the radial vibrations of a hollow cylinder and hollow sphere with different boundary conditions under influences of rotation and non-homogeneity have been studied. The radial vibrations of orthotropic material as affected by the angular velocity are investigated on the basis of the linear theory of elasticity. The of elastodynamic equations have been so...

A finite different scheme as well as least-square method is presented for the magneto-thermo analysis of an infinite functionally graded hollow cylinder. The radial displacement, mechanical stresses and temperature as well as the electromagnetic stress are investigated along the radial direction of the cylinder. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a...

In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...

A short review is presented of the cylinder problem as a vehicle for developments in the theory of linear viscoelastic stress analysis. This is followed by the solution of the problem of a compressible, hollow circular viscoelastic cylinder encased in and bonded to an elastic cylindrical shell. The analysis includes the effects of arbitrarily varying angular velocity and internal pressure, and ...
