Abstract: The present paper examines the large deflections of a clamped circulate thin plate for pressure sensor applications and establishes a simple solution using the singular perturbation technique. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effect of blade crack on the mode localization of a rotating blade disk is studied. Pretwisted taper beams are used to simulate blades of a blade disk. The crack on the ...

Abstract: The heat transfer within a perfused tissue in the presence of a vessel is considered. The bio-heat transfer equation is used for the perfused tissue and a lumped capacitance analysis is used ...

Abstract: A fully conjugated blood vessel network model (FCBVNM) for calculating tissue temperatures has been developed, tested, and studied. This type of model represents a more fundamental approach to ...

Abstract: The inelastic nonlinear behaviors of preloaded steel trusses undergoing heating and cooling cycles, a problem not well treated previously, are studied in this paper. A bilinear elastoplastic model with a kinematic ...

Abstract: A shield tunnel may suffer various structural defects during its operational period. Different factors can contribute to defects on site, such as cracks, spalling, leakage, or offset, and a rational understanding of the ...
