Dynamic Analysis of Honeycomb Sandwich Laminated Composite Plate using ANSYS
Abstract: A structural sandwich is a peculiar form of a laminated composite comprising of a combination of distinct materials which are bonded together to use effectively the properties of each separate component to the structural advantage of the whole assembly. Two thin, rigid and quite strong faces in the framework are partitioned by a thick, light and weaker core. The faces are attached adhesively to the core to ensure effective load …

Automatic characteristic analysis method of multi-degrees-of-freedom planetary gear train based on graph theory
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a computer-aided analysis method of the planetary gear train (PGT) based on graph theory. In this paper, a novel graph model is developed to represent the structure of the PGTs. Then, according to the gear shift strategy, the characteristic analysis models are deduced for each operating mode. The structure of the graph model is efficiently described through several variations of the incidence …

Thermal Engineering: Principles, Evolution, and Comparative Analysis with Classical Approaches
Abstract: Thermal engineering is the study of heat transfer, thermodynamics and energy conversion systems. However, through the years it has progressed from classical theories, which relied on empirical correlations, to enhanced computed and nanotechnology based approaches. This paper highlights the principles of thermal engineering, its important systems and latest developments of thermal engineering and provides extensive comparisons between the classical (traditional) methods and the most recent developments or innovations such as …
