Viscous Airflow Through a Rigid Tube With a Compliant Lining: A Simple Model for the Air-Mucus Interaction in Pulmonary Airways
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The respiratory tract of mammals is lined with a layer of mucus, described as viscoelastic semi-solid, above a layer of watery serous fluid. The interaction of these compliant layers with ...
Comparative Study on Vibration Control of a Scaled Bridge Using Fail-Safe Magneto-Rheological Fluid Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work presents vibration control of a scaled bridge using fail-safe magneto-rheological fluid (MRF) dampers. A fail-safe MRF damper refers to a device that retains a minimum required damping capacity in the event of a ...
