Development of Multi-Axial Fatigue Retrofits for Lock Gate Components
… a prominent issue. Developed cracks near the pintle region (a joint which the gate rotates and rests upon) have shown to be difficult to mitigate due to the complex stresses that flow through this area. Mitigation methods commonly used for mode I cracking have been futile in the arrestment of …

Spray characteristics of throttle body fuel injection
… mounted ball and an externally mounted pintle injector under steady operation and over a range of injector duty cycles common in engine operation. In subsequent experiments, spray characteristics were measured at the throttle body exit under simulated engine conditions. The study also …

Combustion optimization in a hydrogen-enhanced lean burn SI engine
… tests compared a standard single-hole pintle injector against a fine atomizing 12-hole injector. Lastly, a further series of trials was also run to investigate the impact of high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) dilution rates on combustion stability. Results indicate that optimizations …

Fuel spray modelling in direct-injection diesel and gasoline engines
… the multi-hole injector and the outward-opening pintle nozzle. These investigations have enlightened the crucial role of the accurate modelling of the link between the internal nozzle flow prediction and the characteristics of the forming sprays in term of the successive multi-phase flow …

Structural health monitoring of inland navigation infrastructure
The inland navigation system in the U.S. is a civil infrastructure network that relies on the performance of a vast array of infrastructure assets scattered across the nation to function successfully. The system is critical to the U.S. economy, allowing the transportation of billions of dollars in …
