Abstract: The problem of flow of a viscoelastic fluid characterized by the well-known Rivlin-Ericksen constitutive equations is discussed, when such a fluid is driven by an unsteady pressure gradient in ...

Abstract: Rodent models of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) are often used to investigate the effects of injury mechanism, injury speed, and cord displacement magnitude, on the ensuing cascade of biological damage in the cord. However, ...

Abstract: An atmospheric model for the height range 100?700 km, likely to hold for solar minimum conditions, has been developed. The flux density of solar radiation at 10.7 cm wavelength (F10.7) is taken to be 70 ? 10?22 w m?2 ...

Abstract: Liquefaction-induced ground displacements resulting from earthquake shaking are a major cause of damage to earth structures comprised of, or underlain by, loose saturated granular soils. The present paper describes the ...

Abstract: For novel high-speed small core turbines, with tip clearance below 0.5 mm, even small blade-to-blade tip clearance variation is significant. The assessment of these complex flows is pertinent to the design of the next ...

Abstract: Efficiency is an essential metric for assessing turbine performance. Modern turbines rely heavily on numerical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for design improvement. With more compact turbines leading to lower ...

Abstract: The problem of primary creep of an orthotropic thick-walled spherical shell under internal pressure has been analyzed in this paper. The creep stresses and strains have been calculated using a ...

Abstract: The stress and strain-rate distributions in the wall of a hollow thick-walled circular cylinder, rotating about its own axis with a constant angular speed, have been obtained using Norton’s law ...

Abstract: In this study, the ecotoxicological effects posed by bulk of the material obtained from landfill mining, that is, fine fraction (<10 mm), were assessed by performing bioassays tests with the aim of using the data in ...
