in this research, the total torque input and output shafts were subjected to are used to formulate twodifferential equations using applied dynamics and fluid mechanics. the equations show that the input andoutput torques are a function of the constant geometrical parameters of a torque converter, includinginternal and external diameters of vanes, angle and length of vanes, cross section area be...

the objective of this research is geometrical optimization of half toroidal continuously variable transmission (cvt) in order to achieve high power transmission efficiency and low weight. after dynamic analysis of the system, the contact between the disk and the roller is modeled according to elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication principles. accordingly, a computer model is created with geometric, th...

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the band-gap and transmission properties of phononic crystal (PC) beams immersed in water. Spectral element method (SEM) is developed for theoretical analysis in which the hydrodynamic loading is taken into consideration. Influence of the hydrodynamic loading on band-gap and transmission properties of the PC beams are studied. To directly detect t...

in the procedure of designing an underwater vehicle or robot, its maneuverability and controllability must be simulated and tested, before the product is finalized for manufacturing. since the hydrodynamic forces and moments highly affect the dynamic and maneuverability of the system, they must be estimated with a reasonable accuracy. in this study, hydrodynamic coefficients of an autonomous un...

This paper experimentally investigates the acoustic behavior of a homogeneous porous material with a rigid frame (metallic foam) under grazing flow. The transmission coefficient shows an unusual oscillation over a particular range of frequencies which reports the presence of an unstable hydrodynamic wave that can exchange energy with the acoustic waves. This coupling of acoustic and hydrodynami...
