A dynamic 2D axisymmetric CFD model, coupled to a 1D bed model, has been developed to simulate the production of lime in a rotary kiln. The model simulates heat transfer caused by radiation, convection and conduction between the gas, wall, and bed to determine the axial bed temperature in the...

It has been widely accepted that stress and strain fields near the crack tip govern crack propagation behavior. In most cases, an elasto-plastic analysis is required to determine local stress and strain fields around the crack tip due to the high stress concentration. However, complexities of...

The forward and inverse displacement problems (FDP, IDP) are solved for a 4-DOF hybrid cable-driven parallel manipulator. This manipulator uses three cables and one extensible rod to manipulate the mobile platform, and shares some kinematic similarities to the well-studied Stewart-Gough...
