Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive model of a motorcycle mounting system. The model presented herein consists of two main assemblies. The powertrain assembly and the swing-arm assembly are modeled as a six degree of freedom rigid bodies. The two assemblies are connected to each other using a shaft that is usually referred to as the coupler. The co... Show More

Abstract: Cocoa seeds damage is a major problem facing cocoa farmers during breaking process. Hertz's theory on the contact forces was used for prediction of the rupture force just required to break a cocoa pod under compressive load along its lateral axis. Different varieties of cocoa pods were first subjected to compressive forces. Then they were placed on... Show More

Abstract: Isolator is an important component of the hypersonic dual-mode scramjet engine, which plays a critical role on the stability of the engine. Flow structure inside an isolator is quite complicated due to separation zones and shock train. The main function of an isolator is to prevent the separated flow from deviating outside the engine, causing it to... Show More
