Abstract: When a stent is implanted in a blocked ureter, the urine passing from the kidney to the bladder must traverse a very complicated flow path. That path consists of two parallel passages, one ...

Abstract: A logic-based systematic method of designing manifold systems to achieve flowrate uniformity among the channels that interconnect a distribution manifold and a collection manifold has been developed, ...

Abstract: This paper sets forth a fully validated quasianalytical method for determining the fluid flow in a multi-inlet collection manifold. The method is based on first principles, which are the ...

Abstract: The strut-and-tie method is a promising analytical tool for the design of disturbed regions where the conventional plane bending theory does not hold. These include pile caps, corbels, frame joints, deep beams, and so ...

Abstract: A case study describing the application of conflict analysis to a public engagement program of urban planning in Hong Kong is presented in this paper. The technique of conflict analysis is used to investigate the possible ...
