Abstract: This article presents a wide-ranging review of the simulation-based biological fluid dynamic models that have been developed and used in animal swimming and flying. The prominent feature of ...

Abstract: Blood flow in arteries often shows a rich variety of vortical flows, which are dominated by the complex geometry of blood vessels, the dynamic pulsation of blood flow, and the complicated ...

Abstract: This research compares various methods for determining the drag coefficient of a capsule moving through a pneumatic capsule pipeline. A theoretical drag coefficient equation is derived using the 1D energy equation, continuity ...

Abstract: This paper presents a 3D mathematical model based on the finite-element method to simulate the structural response of steel and steel/concrete composite connections so that their moment-rotation-temperature characteristics ...

Abstract: In this study a procedure to obtain direct singular positions of a 3RPS parallel manipulator is presented. If the heights of three spherical joints, denoted by d1n,d2n, and d3n respectively, ...

Abstract: Effective cooling of the airfoil leading edge is imperative in gas turbine designs. Among several methods of cooling the leading edge, impingement cooling has been utilized in many modern ...

Abstract: A boundary element technique has been developed to analyze interface cracks in a layered solid. The loading applied on the solid may be tension, compression, shear, or an arbitrary combination ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the effect of a thrust active magnetic bearing (TAMB) on the stability and bifurcation of an active magnetic bearing rotor system (AMBRS). The shaft is flexible ...

Abstract: A simple electromagnetic pump, based on the principle of linear induction motor (LIM), has been developed by researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia for use in hydraulic capsule ...
