Abstract: A numerical model has been developed of two-dimensional chaotic mixing of immiscieble Newtonian fluids. A computationally efficient numerical methodology is employed which is well-suited to complex, ...

Abstract: When the radius of a hole reduces to nanometers, the influence of surface energy becomes prominent in its mechanical behavior. In the present paper, we consider the diffraction of plane ...

Abstract: There are some errors in Eq. 22, Table 1, and nomenclature. The corrections of these errors are shown below: Display FormulaS2z=0.5(B-Sp/cosβ)[D1-Ds+Ds-dott(tt-do)] (22) Do/Di in Table 1 should ...

Abstract: The recurring devastation caused by extreme events underscores the need for reliable estimates of their intensity and frequency. Operational frequency and intensity estimates are very often obtained from generalized extreme ...

Abstract: An intelligent system has been used for injection molding. Five molded part defects, two mold parameters and the part weight are used as system inputs which are described by fuzzy terms. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the displacement of an axially moving string is regulated using a control force and a control torque applied to the string via a mechanical guide. Given the hybrid model of ...

Abstract: Confining pressure significantly influences the mechanical behavior of soil. Understanding geotechnical problems related to low confining pressures requires precise modeling of soil behavior at low confining stress. Yet ...

Abstract: In product design, a large proportion of three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) models can be reused to facilitate future product development due to their similarities in function and ...

Abstract: Increasing demands and concerns for reliable supply of liquid transportation fuels make it important to find alternative sources to petroleum-based fuels. One such alternative is cellulosic ethanol. ...
