Abstract: The flow behaviors around a square cylinder were modulated using the passive mesh fence. The effects of Reynolds number (Re) and rotation angle (θ) on the square-cylinder flow fields using ...

Abstract: A series solution is obtained for thick-walled cylinders subjected to a temperature distribution which varies both radially and axially. The solution is based on three-dimensional linear theory ...

Abstract: Based on an energy method analyses of magnetoelastic buckling and bending of ferromagnetic thin plates in transverse, oblique, and longitudinal fields are performed in this paper. A general ...

Abstract: In this paper, a method is presented to analyze the mechanical stress distribution in a pacing lead based on a sequence of paired 2D angiographic images. The 3D positions and geometrical ...

Abstract: Crack-tip singularity studies play a dominant role in various aspects concerning fracture and fracture mechanics. Significant advances have been made by Chinese scholars engaged in this field. A ...

Abstract: The identification of a three dimensional constitutive model is useful for describing the complex mechanical behavior of a nonlinear and anisotropic biological tissue such as the esophagus. The ...

Abstract: The time-dependent mechanical properties of the porcine esophagus were investigated experimentally and theoretically. It was hypothesized that the viscoelasticity was quasilinear, i.e., the time and ...

Abstract: The esophagus, like other soft tissues, exhibits nonlinear and anisotropic mechanical properties. As a composite structure, the properties of the outer muscle and inner mucosal layer are different. ...
