Abstract: A finite volume time domain method is developed for inplane vibration based on mixed triangular and quadrilateral elements. Here the linear quadrilateral element shape function is introduced instead of the constant one to ...

Abstract: The gas flow characteristics in rectangular cross section converging–diverging micronozzles incorporating the effect of threedimensional (3D) rough surface topography are investigated. The fractal geometry is utilized ...

Abstract: Scale effect on the tensioninduced intermodal coupling between the flexural modes in nanomechanical resonators is investigated. Based on the nonlocal theory of elasticity, a theoretical model is developed to depict the ...

Abstract: Slant edge cracked effect considering the inherent relation between surface energy and mixedmode crack propagations on the free transverse vibrations of nanobeams with surface effect is investigated. First, the slant edge ...

Abstract: Pumping tests are commonly used to estimate aquifer parameters during field work. Classical pumping tests are mainly classified into two general types: constant-rate pumping tests and constant-head pumping tests. However, ...

Abstract: Highcapacity anodes, such as Si, have attracted tremendous research interest over the last two decades because of the requirement for the high energy density of nextgeneration lithiumion batteries (LIBs). The mechanical ...

Abstract: Dynamic behaviors of delaminated nanofilms on substrates are universal and essential phenomena in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Van der Waals (vdWs) interactions play an important role in the dynamic behaviors of ...

Abstract: Various bio-inspired vibration isolators have been emerged in recent decades and applied successfully in the protection of sensitive components, improvement of operating comfort, enhancement of control accuracy, etc. They ...
