Using a Data Driven Approach to Predict Waves Generated by Gravity Driven Mass Flows

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng

When colossal gravity-driven mass flows enter a body of water, they may generate waves which can have destructive consequences on coastal areas. A number of empirical equations in the form of power functions of several dimensionless groups have been develo ...

Data-Driven Model for the Dynamic Characteristics of O-Rings for Gas Bearing Supported Rotors

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

The measurement results of various nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) O-Ring sizes are pre-sented, and reduced-order models are developed in order to predict the stiffness and damping coefficient as a function of O-Ring geometry, Shore hardness, squeeze, and e ...
