Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical and experimental analysis of the behavior of simple beams bent by a central load while freely supported at each end. Both plane strain and plane stress ...

Abstract: An all-pneumatic driving system is presented which provides close duplication of the Starling’s cardiac regulation function to an artificial left ventricle in mock circulation. The system, built ...

Abstract: A mathematical model of a sac-type artificial ventricle is presented. The model, derived from the mass conservation and energy equations of a deformable control volume, is used in a digital ...

Abstract: The region near the nozzle exit of laminar free jets is of interest to those involved with the design of fluid control and free jet sensing devices often applied in low cost automation. An ...
