Abstract: Mussel adhesion is a problem of great interest to scientists and engineers. Recent microscopic imaging suggests that the mussel material is porous with patterned void distributions. In this paper, we study the effect of ...

Abstract: Peeling of thin films is a problem of great interest to scientists and engineers. Here, we study the peeling response of thin films with nonuniform thickness profile attached to a rigid substrate through a planar homogeneous ...

Abstract: The influence of wetlands on basin hydrology and channel hydraulics has been investigated for a small Canadian basin using the MIKE 11/NAM model of the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI). The Black Creek basin has an area ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis was carried out to predict the influences of wall inclination angles of large reservoirs on the onset of gas entrainment during single and dual discharges from a stratified ...

Abstract: An improved velocity field based on the solution to an incompressible fluid flow is used to establish an upper bound approach for conical flows in metal forming. From a three parameter ...

Abstract: During the past 5 years, I had the honor to serve as the EditorinChief of the ASME Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics. This journal was established and sponsored by the ASME Design Engineering Division (DED) ...

Abstract: At the feasibility study level, the selection of the optimum site for a plant or a project is one of the most important decisions that will significantly influence the economic viability of the project. Civil engineers can ...

Abstract: The phreatic surface in an unconfined aquifer exists as a movable interface between the saturated and unsaturated zones. The movement of the phreatic surface depends on recharge, hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and ...
