an optical system has been redesigned and used to measure detonation velocity as a function of condensed explosive density for rdx, hmx, petn. these measurements are then used to determine and fine tune parameters appearing in the bkw (beker-kistiakowsky-wilson) equation of state for gases at extremely high pressures. steady state form of conservation equations along with the bkw state equation...

Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...

In this paper a multiobjective optimal design method of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor ( IPMSM) for traction applications so as to maximize average torque and to minimize torque ripple has been presented. Based on train motion equations and physical properties of train, desired specifications such as steady state speed, rated output power, acceleration time and rated speed of tract...

how inflation taxation affects resource allocation and welfare has received a great deal of attention. so far, this debate has been controversial. in this paper we examine how nominal money growth as a means of public finance affects resource allocation and welfare in a neoclassical endogenous growth model with leisure and money in the utility function and production externality. the present st...

determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. in this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. the critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. in a...
