Abstract: An in-vivo experimental method was developed to measure the stress-strain relationship of a spinal cord segment of anesthetized puppies. A pseudo Young’s modulus was defined for the linear region ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric laminar blood flows in a stenotic model vessel are calculated by using a finite-difference scheme of the Navier-Stokes equations. The wavy lumen are transformed to a rectangular region with fine and irregular ...

Abstract: Nonlinear pulsatile blood flows in distensible vessels were calculated using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The time-dependent wavy lumen was mapped to a fixed rectangular domain. The transient geometric, kinematic, ...

Abstract: The dynamic interaction between nonlinear hydrodynamic pressures and the vibration of a concrete gravity dam is analyzed by coupling Euler's equations with a finite element model of the dam. The earthquake force components ...

Abstract: A span‐wise variation of nonlinear hydrodynamic pressures on dams during earthquakes was studied using a finite‐difference approximation of Euler's equations coupled with the nonlinear free‐surface boundary condition. The ...

Abstract: Earthquake response of reservoir sediment and its dynamic interaction with the impounded water are analyzed using a two‐dimensional model of poroelastic media. The pressure wave equation for the pore water and the sediment ...

Abstract: A finite‐difference analysis was employed to calculate nonlinear hydrodynamic pressures on vertical and inclined faces of dams. Two idealized ground accelerations and an actual earthquake excitation were used as the ...

Abstract: An in-vivo experimental technique was employed to determine the linear and nonlinear characteristics of viscoelastic properties of the spinal cord of anesthetized cats. The stress relaxation and ...
