Abstract: This paper examines mainly oscillatory behavior of a fluid-conveying collapsible tube using a two-dimensional flexible channel made of a pair of membranes. The equation of equilibrium of the ...

Abstract: To investigate mechanisms of the mechanical adaptation of soft biological tissues to load, effects of hypertension on the mechanical properties and wall dimensions of thoracic aortas were studied ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete beams with flexural cracks are simulated by the bridged crack model. The weight function method of determining stress intensity factors has been followed to derive a transformation between the crack ...

Abstract: The finite element method is applied to determine the wave forces and wave fields for various coastal and ocean structures. Wave diffraction and radiation problems are solved by the method. A ...

Abstract: The study of steady and unsteady oscillatory static fluid pressures acting on the internal wall of a collapsible tube is essential for investigation of the complicated behavior observed when a ...

Abstract: A new concept and a preliminary study for a monocolumn floating unit are introduced, aimed at exploring and producing oil in ultradeep waters. This platform, which combines two relevant ...
