Abstract: A nonlinear theory for the calculation of the flow field of an oblique flat plate under blockage condition is given using the techniques of integral equations. Numerical results are obtained ...

Abstract: A series of multicompartmental, biphasic elastic tissue models is developed. In its most general form, the models consist of multiple tubular networks, each with an internal spring network. In ...

Abstract: Strain energy functions are derived from biphasic soft tissue models in order to describe large-deformation, large-swelling, elastic behavior of nonlinear materials. The resulting analysis leads ...

Abstract: An accident involving a 3-wheeled vehicle resulted in personal injury and property damage. Analysis of the failure by direct observation, optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and ...

Abstract: Increasing use of ceramics in structural applications has led to the development of a probabilistic design methodology that combines three elements: linear elastic fracture mechanics theory that ...

Abstract: Case-by-case reviews of selective world experience with severe local faults, particularly fuel failure and fuel degradation, are reviewed for two sodium-cooled thermal reactors, several LMFBRs, and ...

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy LMFBR Lines-of-Assurance are briefly stated and local faults are given perspective with an historical review and definition to help define the constraints of LMFBR ...

Abstract: The pressure loss coefficient of an impingement cooled system similar to that often used to cool the leading edge of a turbine blade has been determined from model test. The influence of ...

Abstract: This work deals with film cooling of a surface with injection through slots. From the vast number of literatures surveyed, the cooling effectiveness for an ideal geometry—a flat plate with no ...

Abstract: Physical interpretation of the transfer function zeros of simple control systems with mechanical flexibilities is presented. It is shown that for discrete spring-mass systems and elastic beams, ...
