Abstract: This paper is concerned with the dynamical analysis of a sagged cable having small equilibrium curvature and horizontal supports under both distributed and concentrated loads. The loads are ...

Abstract: A study has been made on the steady, incompressible developing MHD flow in a parallel-plate channel. The applied magnetic field is uniform but its direction makes an arbitrary angle with the ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the galloping of iced conductors modeled as a two-degrees-of-freedom system. It is assumed that a realistic cross-section of a conductor has eccentricity; that is, ...

Abstract: With the use of the random cell model developed in a previous paper, an expression for predicting filter efficiency of a fibrous filter is obtained. Comparisons between theory and experiments ...

Abstract: Although the galloping of an iced electrical conductor has been considered by many researchers, no special attention has been given to the galloping’s sensitivity to alternations in the system’s ...

Abstract: A filter model consisting of a random distribution of parallel fibers is proposed to account for nonuniform fiber spacings in a real filter. The average pressure drop across this filter is ...

Abstract: A common difficulty in the analysis and design of transmission and distribution lines is to determine a conductor’s tension and its static profile under concentrated loads. For relatively small ...

Abstract: The quasi-steady creeping flow in a spherical model alveolus has been studied by solving the Stokes equations numerically in order to understand the airflow in the alveolar region of the human ...

Abstract: A numerical study of the axisymmetric flow in a cylindrical chamber of height H is presented, which is driven by a bottom disk rotating at angular velocity Ω. However, unlike most previous ...
