Abstract: This study describes a micromechanics model for estimating the effective vascular permeability for a biological tissue containing parallel microvessels subjected to finite deformations. The representative volume element ...

Abstract: In hot extrusion of Al-profiles, the billet-container boundary is characterized by the sticking condition. The outer surface layer of the billet is stuck to the container wall. At the back-end ...

Abstract: In multiple operation stamping processes, a press tonnage signal measured by press tonnage sensors installed on press linkages/uprights, is the summation of die forces at all stations. Different ...

Abstract: Stability parameters and wind-stress coefficients under various atmospheric conditions are related to wind velocity and air-sea temperature difference. Readily applicable formulae, without iterative computations, of ...

Abstract: The thickness of the oceanic thermal layer is considered to be one-half of the viscous-sublayer thickness, which decreases as the wind velocity increases. The thermal-layer thickness is estimated to be between 4 and 0.25 ...

Abstract: A boundary-layer survey has been conducted on a rough plate consisting of uniform spherical particles arranged in a random and compact fashion. Strong turbulent mixing was observed in a region ...

Abstract: Friction velocities of pulsating winds were measured, as well as slope and curvature distributions of thedisturbed water surface. The results obtained with the same average wind speed, but with pulsations of various ...

Abstract: such as cloud contamination and orbital drift. These problems are corrected using the algorithms developed by Jin and Dickinson, Jin, and Jin and Treadon, and consequently provide a long-term, monthly, global 8-km land surface skin temperature diurnal cycle...

Abstract: It is a general practice to treat the flow in alluvial channels in two scales: the microscale over bed materials (sand grains), and the macroscale over bed forms. Contrary to common thinking, the flow over bed materials ...

Abstract: Results from investigations on airflows over sand were compiled to show two interesting characteristics of these flows. The minimum friction velocity for the inception of wind erosion is shown to be 16 cm/s. The tendency ...
