Abstract: Two-phase flows including a phase change such as liquid–vapor flows play an important role in many industrial applications. A deeper understanding of the phase change phenomena is required to improve the performance and ...

Abstract: The spinal cord is encased by spinal meninges called the pia, arachnoid, and dura maters. Among these membranes, the dura mater is the thick and outermost layer and is the toughest and strongest. Thus, mechanical failure ...

Abstract: Viscoelasticity of the spinal nerve roots may play a significant role in predicting nerve root damage caused by overall spinal motion. However, only a few studies have investigated the complex mechanical behavior of this ...

Abstract: A pseudostatic analysis, based on the beam on nonlinear Winkler-spring method considering the seismic earth pressure and side friction acting on embedded pile caps, was developed to estimate pile bending moments and shear ...

Abstract: Spectrum analysis of the Doppler signals was performed 0.5 tube diameters downstream from an axisymmetric constriction with an area reduction of 80 percent in steady flow at a jet Reynolds ...

Abstract: In this paper, a duplex spread blade method for cutting hypoid gears with modified tooth surface is proposed. The duplex spread blade method provides a rapid and economical manufacturing method ...

Abstract: The general objective of the investigation reported in this paper is to obtain a reliable understanding of the three-dimensional inviscid effects in axial flow turbomachinery. The calculation is ...

Abstract: This paper deals with an experimental study of the fluid forces, surface pressure, and vortex-shedding frequency of a circular cylinder placed in and near a turbulent plane mixing layer with ...
