Abstract: This paper presents the wave propagation in a tunable phononic crystal consisting of a porous hyperelastic magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) subjected to an external magnetic field. Finite deformations and magnetic induction ...

Abstract: A scale-dependent numerical approach is developed through combining the finite element (FE)-based averaging process with the Monte Carlo method to determine the desired size of a characteristic volume element (CVE) for a ...

Abstract: This study reviews the work performed in the field of reciprocating shaft seals from the advent of the scientific topic in the 1940s. Concepts of leakage, film layers, friction, wear, and other concerns with shaft seals ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, full-scale, single-phase finite element model has been developed for a liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) with serpentine flow patterns. Equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and species ...
