Abstract: The use of the specified time interval (STI) numerical schemes has been popular in applying the method of characteristics (MOC) to unsteady open‐channel flow problems. Studies and analyses of several variants of the STI ...

Abstract: Unsteady flows in movable‐bed open channels can be described by a set of three partial differential equations: the equations of continuity and motion for sediment‐laden flow and the equation of continuity for sediment. It ...

Abstract: For unsteady open‐channel flows having N interacting unknown variables, a system of

Abstract: The evaporation rates from small wind-waves by forced convection in a range where the spray of water by strong wind action is not important have been studied in the laboratory. The effects of free stream velocity, wave ...

Abstract: Based on the energy principle, the tapered elements for beam‐columns are derived and incorporated into a user‐friendly nonlinear frame analysis computer program. When compared to the methods using the conventional uniform ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel mechanism concept of laparoscope holders used for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The mechanism is made of a parallelogram linkage and a parallel mechanism, which, respectively, serve as a ...

Abstract: A reliability study on anisotropically conductive adhesive joints on a Flip-Chip/FR-4 assembly has been carried out. In the study, nine types of anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA) and one ...
