... Abstract The present study aims to evaluate the intrinsic differences in in-cylinder combustion in low load and low-speed conditions by applying experimental and numerical techniques. The experimental apparatus consisted of an AVL5406 SI-PFI single-cylinder with optical access operating under...

... frequency of cantilever beam. It was found that the energy harvester can be greatly improved by placing a fixed bluff body as interference bluff body in upstream of the oscillating bluff body. Through experimental tests, this study reveals that both diameter of interference cylinder and the distance between...

... Abstract Structural connections must maintain strength and ductility during and after impulsive loading to prevent widespread failure of a structure. However, a decrease in ductility in response to impulsive loads has been observed both experimentally and in situ. Further, experimental data...

... due to complicated thermal behavior and non-uniform heating or cooling, being important to fully understand the process in order to reduce time and costs. This work addresses the experimental analysis of multiple air jets impinging on a moving flat plate. The experiments are conducted on a purpose...

... of measurement errors and uncertainty quantification of an experimental set up specially built for the analysis of the interaction between a non-isothermal jets and non-flat surfaces moving perpendicularly to the jet axis. To ensure the reliability of the results, preliminary tests were performed to guarantee...
