Abstract: A stabilized semi-implicit fractional step algorithm based on the finite element method for solving ship wave problems using unstructured meshes is presented. The stabilized governing equations ...

Abstract: This work is concerned with turbulent diffusion in gas-particle flows. The cases studied correspond to dilute flows and small Stokes number, this implies that the mean velocity of the particles ...

Abstract: This paper presents a proposal for an expert system for inspection and diagnosis of epoxy resin on industrial floor coatings (PIRE). The system proposed intends to contribute to normalize the inspections and related reports ...

Abstract: The steady cavitating flow through a converging-diverging nozzle is considered. A continuum model is assumed with the Rayleigh-Plesset equation to account for the bubble dynamics. A similar problem ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative theoretical and numerical study on the efficiency of several numerical methods for the dynamic analysis of constrained mechanical systems, also called in the ...

Abstract: Stress analysis of contact models for isotropic articular cartilage under impacting loads shows high shear stresses at the interface with the subchondral bone and normal compressive stresses near ...

Abstract: Articular cartilage is known to behave nonlinearly for large deformations. Mechanical properties derived from small strain experiments yield excessively large deformations in finite element models ...

Abstract: To date, studies that have investigated the kinematics of spinal motion segments have largely focused on the contributions that the spinal ligaments play in the resultant motion patterns. However, ...

Abstract: A set of numerical model experiments has been conducted to simulate the circulation driven by oscillatory forcing over a theoretical continental slope configuration used previously in laboratory experiments. The test case ...
