Abstract: One of the accepted approaches for postpeak finite-element modeling of RC comprises combining plain concrete, reinforcement, and interaction behaviors. In these, the postpeak strain–softening behavior of plain concrete is ...

Abstract: In turbomachinery, the analysis of systems subjected to stochastic or periodic excitation becomes highly complex in the presence of nonlinearities. Nonlinear rotor systems exhibit a variety of ...

Abstract: Response of nonlinear systems subjected to harmonic, parametric, and random excitations is of importance in the field of structural dynamics. The transitional probability density function (PDF) ...

Abstract: Delayed dynamical systems appear in many areas of science and engineering. Analysis of general nonlinear delayed systems often begins with the linearized delay differential equation (DDE). The ...

Abstract: A microchannel heat sink with convergent-divergent (CD) shape and bifurcation is presented, and flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed for Re ranging from 120 to 900. The three-dimensional governing equations ...

Abstract: Higher average population density, which is a compact city ingredient, is one of the major characteristics of Indian cities. However, there will be an increase in urban built-up area in growing Indian cities, and gross ...

Abstract: The sorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics of contaminants, e.g., strontium, lead, and uranium, for four different Indian soils (named S1, S2, S3, and S4) were investigated. Batch testing was performed to ...

Abstract: Wear and surface damage of tools (die materials) in the hot metal forming industry is a critical problem observed and is producing an adverse effect on the process economy. The problem occurs when tool and workpiece interact ...

Abstract: This article proposes the closed-form solution of the generalized non-Fourier model-based bioheat transfer equation (BHTE) in Cylindrical coordinates to understand the thermal behavior of living tissue heated by a pulsed ...
