Abstract: Temperature-dependent viscosity effect in buoyancy driven flow of a gas or a liquid in an enclosure filled with a porous medium is studied numerically based on the general model of momentum ...

Abstract: Structural designers use parametric equations to convert results of simple beam models to detailed hot spot stress distributions. Knowledge of hot spot stresses improves fatigue performance predictions. This paper extends ...

Abstract: For most design and recertification work on tubular structures, it is not practical to determine the joint hot spot stresses experimentally or using detailed finite element analysis. Therefore, ...
