Abstract: A finite-element method has been adopted for the detailed analysis of peristaltic pumping. It is found that both wavelengths and wave amplitudes influence the flow field strongly. When there ...

Abstract: A formulation of the finite-element method for both two-dimensional and axisymmetric slow viscous flow is presented. Its application to flow of large particles in a channel or a circular ...

Abstract: The hybrid stress finite element method is used to study the effects of filament angle, θ, and orthotropicity parameter, EL /ET , on the vibration and flutter characteristics of cantilevered ...

Abstract: The present paper examines the large deflections of a clamped circulate thin plate for pressure sensor applications and establishes a simple solution using the singular perturbation technique. ...
