Abstract: Pressure drop through anisotropic porous mediumlike cylinder bundles is experimentally examined in turbulent flow regime. Three porosities, ε=0.66, 0.82, and 0.90, are considered. The flow blockage ...

Abstract: On the basis of analyzing all the forces on the self-supported uniform high column, the superposition method in mechanics of materials and a MATLAB program were used to calculate the additional ...

Abstract: A theoretical study on the vibration isolation and energy absorption capability of high porosity closed-cell aluminum foams subjected to impact loading is presented. A double degree of freedom ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design, fabrication, and characterization of a micromachined high-frequency Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) single crystal/epoxy 1–3 composite ultrasound circular array. The 1–3 composites were ...

Abstract: Although invariant integrals (path independent integrals) have been used extensively in the 20th century, mainly in the calculation of dominant parameters that govern the initiation and propagation ...

Abstract: This study presents local temperature and heat transfer coefficient distributions obtained experimentally on the internal surfaces of a rotating pin-finned brake rotor at realistic rotation speeds for braking (i.e., ...

Abstract: In this paper, the mechanics of a semi-infinite crack interacting with near crack-tip singularities (e.g., dislocations) in two-dimensional solids is investigated using the concept of potential ...

Abstract: Recent turbulence-resolving simulations of fine sediment transport in the oscillatory bottom boundary layer (OBBL) revealed the existence of a diverse range of flow regimes over muddy seabeds. Transitions between these ...

Abstract: Thermal pain arising from the teeth is unlike that arising from anywhere else in the body. The source of this peculiarity is a longstanding mystery that has begun to unravel with recent experimental measurements and, ...

Abstract: A combined theoretical and numerical study is carried out to quantify the influence of material properties (e.g., real part and loss factor of Young’s modulus, material density) and geometrical parameters (e.g., layer ...
