Abstract: Limaçon machine, of which the relative motion between the rotor and housing follows the limaçon curve, belongs to a class of rotary positive displacement machines. The profiles of rotors and housings of those machines can ...

Abstract: A limaçon machine is a rotary positive displacement device, in which the housing and rotor are constructed of limaçon of Pascal curves. Previous works have been published to investigate the working of these machines in two ...

Abstract: This paper studies the response of ELBOW31 and ELBOW31B element types under pure bending conditions, using shell and beam element models for benchmarking. Various model lengths are evaluated, showing that a model length ...

Abstract: Slug flow induces vibration in pipelines, which may, in some cases, result in fatigue failure. This can result from dynamic stresses, induced by the deflection and bending moment in the pipe span, growing to levels above ...
