Abstract: The performance of a louver cooling scheme on a transonic airfoil has been studied numerically in this paper. Film cooling holes are located near the passage throat. The Mach number at the ...

Abstract: The bearing behavior of footings on layered soils has received significant attention from researchers, but most of the reported studies are limited to footings resting on the surface of the soil and are based on the ...

Abstract: In recent years, high-heat-flux cooling techniques have received great attention from researchers around the world due to its importance in thermal management of both commercial and defense ...

Abstract: The availability of methods for the identification of nonlinear hysteretic systems is crucial for the assessment of the health and the repair of civil infrastructures during and after severe earthquakes. However, most ...

Abstract: In a semi-free field, the acoustic field is composed of two components: the direct sound and the reflected sound. Because it is difficult to separate the direct sound from the acoustic field, ...

Abstract: Slurry transport experiments were performed with five double-species slurries composed of glass beads and water. The double-species glass beads were various combinations of beads having two widely ...

Abstract: Hula-hoop motion refers to the spinning of a ring around a human body; it is made possible by the interactive force between the moving ring and the body. Inspired by the generic concept of ...

Abstract: On the basis of the axisymmetric consolidation model, the governing equation and the corresponding solution were developed for the consolidation of a composite foundation with an impervious column by incorporating an ...
