Abstract: Length of jet diffusion flames is of direct importance in many industrial processes and is analyzed by applying scaling method directly to the governing partial differential equations. It is ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a rigid wall is studied by the elastic approach. The analyses presented by Veletsos and Younan are extended to include foundation flexibility and damping. A closed-form analytical solution is obtained ...

Abstract: A nonlinear mathematical programming approach together with the finite element method and homogenization technique is developed to implement kinematic shakedown analysis for a microstructure under ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first series of validation tests for a patented shear reinforcement system for reinforced concrete flat slabs. The system, called “Shearband,” consists of elongated thin steel strips punched with ...

Abstract: To date the microporosity structures of coarse soils with various coarse/fines contents are still not fully understood. In this study, the pore-size distributions (PSDs) of five types of soil varying from gravel to clay ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical method to analyze the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an undamped double-beam system, which is composed of two beams joined by a uniformly distributed connecting elastic layer, ...

Abstract: The present research concerns the elastic contacting adhesion of a cylinder with a perfectly wetted plane in the presence of a meniscus. The Laplace pressure due to the meniscus is simplified ...

Abstract: Internal mist/steam blade cooling technology has been considered for the future generation of Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS). Fine water droplets of about 5 μm were carried by steam through a ...

Abstract: This paper presents an active control structure and corresponding active control algorithm to suppress the vibration and reduce the dynamic response of an elastically connected double-beam system subjected to excitation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical method to analyze the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an undamped double-beam system, which is composed of two beams joined by a uniformly distributed connecting elastic layer, ...
