Abstract: In this study, the dynamic behavior of an elastic sphere-plane contact interface is studied analytically and experimentally. The analytical model includes both a continuous nonlinearity associated ...

Abstract: This paper presents a review of the current situation in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of fuel cells and highlights the significant challenges that lie ahead in the development ...

Abstract: This paper reviews some of the previous research works on direct visualization of water behavior inside proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells using a transparent single cell. Several papers ...

Abstract: The through-plane permeability has been experimentally measured for untreated and polytetrafluoroethylene-treated (PTFE-treated) gas diffusion layers (GDLs), as used in proton exchange membrane fuel ...

Abstract: For reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates, an analytical method is derived for determining the allowable plate area to achieve a targeted value of ductility. Nonlinear models for ...

Abstract: Thermally driven moisture and vapor transport in unsaturated soil under a thermal loading applied by underground structures affects the magnitude and distribution of matric suction. There is a lack of data about the ...
