Magnetorheological (MR) materials are a group of smart used in new technologies with controlled reliability. The development these is expanding, starting from MR fluids, elastomers, grease, and gel. This large number material types further expands the various applications as creative technology to support performance enhancement. For example, fluid improve shock absorbers such vehicle suspensio...

Abstract The highest loads on the elements of crank–piston system internal combustion engine occur during phase which takes place successively in individual cylinders. Smaller, but also significant, beyond this when dynamic forces begin to play a dominant role. latter depends degree wear components. aim article was analyze stresses model stand for testing phenomena an operating without process....

investor-state dispute settlement (isds) continues to plague health-oriented government regulation. this is particularly reflected in recent challenges to tobacco control measures through bilateral investment agreements. there are numerous reform proposals circulating within the public health community. however, i suggest that perhaps it is time for the community to explore a stronger position ...

In this paper, a design optimization problem with multidisciplinary objectives is considered for a general purpose elastomeric mounting system (EMS). The multidisciplinary design objectives include quasi-static, dynamic and stability targets. Elastic stability of the EMS is investigated for the first time with the development of a general formulation that determines the critical buckling force ...
