Abstract: The effects of elevated free-stream turbulence on flow and thermal structures in transitional boundary layers were investigated experimentally on a heated flat plate. Detailed boundary layer ...

Abstract: Lower-flow regime sand waves emerge from flat sand beds under steady uniform flow conditions. The time variation of the sand-wavelet height and length from inception to equilibrium are derived from linear and nonlinear ...

Abstract: In this paper, the free vibrations of a wide range of tapered Timoshenko beams are investigated. The cross section of the beam varies continuously and the variation is described by a power ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a theoretical study, supported with the finite element analysis, into potential loss of external integrity around a casing shoe resulting from leak-off testing ...

Abstract: Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Colonoscopy is the best technology available to detect and treat abnormalities within the colon. It is a ...

Abstract: This paper studies the free vibration of circular toroidal sectors with circular cross-sections based on the three-dimensional small-strain, linear elasticity theory. A set of orthogonal coordinates, ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional vibration solutions are presented for rectangular plates with mixed boundary conditions, based on the small strain linear elasticity theory. The analysis is focused on two kinds ...
