Abstract: An analogy between two systems, each consisting of an elastic beam on elastic foundation, is given. Through this analogy, forces and displacements of one of two beams correspond to the displacements and forces, respectively, ...

Abstract: By means of a correspondence between two systems, each consisting of a space curved bar resting on an external medium, a complete reciprocal formulation of the conjugate structure method is herein presented. The method ...

Abstract: The effects of time-dependent phenomena on concrete prestressed girder bridges are investigated. The study concerns the case of bridges built directly in their final configuration and that of bridges built by a sequence ...

Abstract: This study addresses the second Graetz problem with prescribed wall heat flux employing the transversal method of lines (TMOL), which deviates significantly from the traditional mathematical procedures employed in the past. ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical study of flow fields for the NREL S805 and S809 airfoils using a spatially second-order symmetric total variational diminishing scheme. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a two-dimensional numerical simulation of the turbulent flow fields for the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) S809 airfoil. The flow is modeled as steady, viscous, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a study about stay stressing procedures of concrete arch bridges built by cantilevering with temporary stays is presented. Particularly, the partial elastic scheme method is proposed to find the initial cable ...

Abstract: Immersion of fins in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems has been used as an influential approach to remedy the poor thermal conductivity of phase-change materials (PCMs). This paper numerically investigates ...
