Abstract: This paper presents results of numerical studies of the impulsively starting backward-facing step flow with the step being mounted in a plane, two-dimensional duct. Results are presented for ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of a compacted metastable-structured residual gneiss soil was experimentally investigated. Volume changes were investigated using both a conventional oedometer cell and a triaxial permeameter system ...

Abstract: The objective is to define a prediction and transposition model for cavitation erosion. Experiments were conducted to determine the energy spectrum associated with a leading edge cavitation. Two ...

Abstract: The unsteady, incompressible, moderate Reynolds number flow past a rectangular cavity is experimentally and numerically investigated. Laser-Doppler anemometry, flow visualization and unsteady numerical ...

Abstract: The present paper concerns numerical investigation of a piston-driven, axisymmetric flow in a pipe assembly containing a sudden expansion. The piston closes the larger of the two pipes. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation about the plasticity correction factor, Ke, proposed in the Part 3-Clause 18 of the EN13445 standard, for correction of the elastic stress ranges exceeding ...

Abstract: This Technical Brief presents an overview about the current methodologies for elastoplastic calculation of structures undergoing cyclic loading, aiming a fatigue assessment according to the local ...
