Abstract: In this paper, a multibody model was developed in the framework of biotribology of lower limb artificial joints. The presented algorithm performs the inverse dynamics of musculoskeletal systems with the aim to achieve a ...

Abstract: The experimental validation of an accurate dynamic model of flexible multi-body planar mechanisms is presented in this paper. The proposed mathematical model, which is valid for whatever planar ...

Abstract: Chatter is an undesired phenomenon of self-excited vibrations that occurs during many machining operations. This paper analyzes mode coupling chatter from the point-of-view of the system theory. ...

Abstract: A model of modified Bingham fluid is used to investigate uniform mudflows in narrow cross sections of the kind typical of hillslope incisions. The problem is tackled both numerically and experimentally. Experiments were ...

Abstract: Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers (STHEs) are commonly used in oil and gas plants to cool or heat process fluids. A possible issue when designing such systems is represented by the tube rupture scenario, when the internal HP ...

Abstract: A very fast temperature increase, produced by a nonuniform heat generation, induces in a simply supported, isotropic, cylindrical rod both longitudinal and flexural vibrations. This paper presents ...

Abstract: Abstract. Tribocorrosion refers to a degradation mechanism resulting from the synergistic interaction between mechanical wear and corrosion, acting positively or negatively. It is a widespread phenomenon across several ...

Abstract: The direct infusion of an agent into a solid tumor, modeled as a spherical poroelastic material with anisotropic dependence of the tumor hydraulic conductivity upon the tissue deformation, is ...

Abstract: The design of deep tunnels underneath the water-table in clayey soils should carefully take into account the influence of pore pressures and seepage forces on the stability of the excavation and on the loading conditions ...
