Abstract: The effect of viscosity on the axisymmetric, forced vibrations of a fluid-filled, elastic, spherical shell is studied analytically. Necessary theory, using boundary layer approximation for the ...

Abstract: The performance and detailed flow characteristics of a high pressure ratio mixed flow turbine has been investigated under steady and pulsating flow conditions. The rotor has been designed to ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of catheter-transducer systems using rigid tubes with compliance lumped in the transducer and oscillatory flow of fluid in rigid tubes were analyzed. A digital computer ...

Abstract: In this paper, a base isolator called a multiple direction optimized-friction pendulum system (Multiple DO-FPS) with numerous sliding interfaces is proposed. To understand the mechanical behavior ...

Abstract: Oilseed rape, a Cd accumulator, is effective in the uptake of plant available Cd from the soil. We hypothesize that the efficient removal of bioavailable Cd from soil solution by the Cd-accumulator oilseed rape (

Abstract: Liquid jets are considered issuing from single-hole, round nozzles into quiescent gases under conditions such that they break up into a well defined conical spray immediately at the nozzle exit ...

Abstract: An instrumented wheel system for three-dimensional kinetic analysis of upper extremity during wheelchair propulsion has been designed and validated. This system allows the direct measurements of ...

Abstract: This paper presents 3D nonlinear finite element analyses on concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) columns subjected to lateral impact loading by considering concrete type, projectile configuration, and strengthening with carbon ...
