Abstract: The plane flow of a homogenous incompressible second-order fluid past projections or depressions of arbitrary shape is considered. A numerical technique based on a boundary integral equation is ...

Abstract: The response of an asphalt concrete pavement to external loading depends on its internal structure. Using a recent framework that associates different natural configurations (for example, stress-free configurations) with ...

Abstract: Bodies are prestressed with the intention to enhance the load-carrying capacity of the body. The primary objective of this study is to understand the effect of prestressing the constituents in composite bodies on the overall ...

Abstract: Our earlier work on the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid of the differential type in a journal bearing is extended here to include nonisothermal operations and temperature dependent viscosity. We ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the development of a fault-free model of the pneumatic subsystem of an air brake system that is used in commercial vehicles. Our objective is to use this model in brake ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic framework is presented that can be used to describe the solidification of polymer melts, both the solidification of atactic polymers into an amorphous elastic solid and the ...

Abstract: The mechanisms by which intracranial aneurysms develop, enlarge, and rupture are unknown, and it remains difficult to collect the longitudinal patient-based information needed to improve our ...

Abstract: Petroleum oil-in-water emulsion, where water is the continuous phase, is often employed under circumstances where the high heat capacity of water is beneficial while the poor lubricating properties ...

Abstract: The flow of a homogeneous incompressible non-Newtonian fluid of the differential type between infinite eccentric rotating cylinders is discussed within the context of the lubrication approximation. ...

Abstract: A variety of hot mix asphalt mixtures are used in highway and runway pavement construction. Each mixture caters to specific needs. Mixtures differ from one another in the type and percentage of aggregates and asphalt used, ...
