Abstract: In this paper, analytical solutions are derived for the case when an elastic waterbacked plate (WBP) is subject to an exponential shock loading near a fixed solid boundary. Two cases, a rigid plate and an elastic plate ...

Abstract: The mucociliary clearance in the bronchial tree is the main mechanism by which the lungs clear themselves of deposited particulate matter. In this work, a macroscopic model of the clearance mechanism is proposed. Lubrication ...
