Abstract: An analysis is presented of the deformation of a homogeneous isotropic elastic half space whose surface behavior departs from the classical due to the presence of a pretensed membrane or a ...

Abstract: A dynamic analysis of a closed-cycle, solar adsorption refrigerator is presented. The instantaneous and daily system performance are studied using two adsorbent-adsorbate pairs, Zeolite 13X-Water ...

Abstract: The characteristics of fluid flow through three porous layers are investigated. The two outer porous layers are considered to be of infinite width, while the middle porous layer is assumed to ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of the deformation of a homogeneous, isotropic, elastic half space subjected to a constant radial strain in a circular area on the boundary. Explicit analytic expressions ...

Abstract: This paper, together with a companion paper which follows, describes a many-faceted experimental investigation aimed at determining basic characteristics of fluid flow through deformable porous ...
