Abstract: Several closed-form solutions exit to predict elastic constants of a composite material. Most of these methods give comparable results for epoxy matrix composites, but not for flexible matrix ...

Abstract: The title problem is analyzed when nodal lines are concentric ellipses by using boundary characteristic orthonormal polynomials in Rayleigh-Ritz method for Winkler foundation where quadratically ...

Abstract: A numerical model of resistance spot welding with spherical tip electrode is developed to incorporate the electro-thermal aspect as well as thermo-elasto-plastic behaviour inherent in this process. ...

Abstract: A complete Fortran-II computer program is presented which can be used to compute the equilibrium composition and final state of the products after constant pressure or constant volume combustion ...

Abstract: The pore size characteristics are widely used in specifying and comparing filter media. Several methods of calculation have been prepared by researchers and some of these have formed the basis ...

Abstract: As a result of excavation blasting, traffic, sudden ground movements, rock bursts, and seismic activity, shotcrete is often subjected to impact and other dynamic loads. Limited data exist, however, with regard to the ...

Abstract: Effects of the consistency variation on the peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid fluid through a tube have been investigated by taking into account the existence of a ...

Abstract: The mean flow characteristics immediately downstream of solid and porous fences submerged in turbulent boundary layers have been studied using two‐dimensional fences of different porosities. The flow downstream of the fence ...

Abstract: Turbulent boundary layer flow past a bluff body placed on a boundary is characterized by the formation of a standing eddy just downstream of the separation point and reattachment and redevelopment of the flow downstream ...
