Abstract: In an experiment motivated by the study of arterial blood flow along the lines suggested by the traditional Chinese medicine, the flow in a pipe whose lumen was blocked by a semi-circular ...

Abstract: A rich group of fluid mechanical problems are suggested in the classical Chinese books Nei Jing and Mai Jing. In this article the methods of pulse wave palpation described in these books are ...

Abstract: Since environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) is an important degradation mechanism affecting the structural materials of nuclear power plants, numerous EAC experiments have been performed in the ...

Abstract: The hypothesis is made that a disturbance in blood flow at one place can be detected in the arterial pulse waves at a distant site. This hypothesis was motivated by the traditional Chinese ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates how ambient vibration measurements at a limited number of locations can be effectively utilized to estimate parameters of a finite element model of a large-scale structural ...
