Abstract: Analytical analysis of fluid flow in an annular microchannel subjected to uniform wall injection at various Reynolds numbers is presented. The classical Navier–Stokes equations are used in the ...

Abstract: This work presents a commentary of the article published by A. Zadegan and A. Zilouchian (2005, ASME J. Dyn. Syst. Meas., Control, 127 , pp. 486–498). We show their order reduction method ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental and analytical program to provide a predictive weld pool modeling technique useful as one component of a feed back control automatic welding machine. Stationary ...

Abstract: A numerical analysis of forced convective heat transfer from an elliptical pin fin heat sink with and without metal foam inserts is conducted using three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer ...

Abstract: In the present study, an analytical solution for 2D vapor flow in flat plate heat pipes is presented. The governing equations are solved analytically using the homotopy perturbation method, and ...

Abstract: In this paper, the compressive bucking and postbuckling behavior of composite laminates with through-the-width delamination are investigated. The analytical method is based on the first-order shear deformation theory, and ...

Abstract: A design of linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based fractional-order surface for sliding-mode controller of a class of uncertain fractional-order nonlinear systems (FO-NSs) is proposed in this paper. A new switching law is ...

Abstract: Natural polymers (biopolymers) are discussed as environmentally friendly and sustainable grouting chemicals. This paper presents guidelines for selecting potentially useful biopolymers for strengthening cohesionless soil. ...

Abstract: Beam-columns of a doubly symmetric cross section generally experience overall buckling in a lateral-torsional mode. Members with thin webs and stocky flanges have been shown in a number of studies to buckle in a so-called ...
