Abstract: A multidimensional calculation procedure is used to investigate the flow in loop-scavenged two-stroke engine with curved cylinder heads. Five different cylinder heads are considered. The curvature ...

Abstract: A method for the shape finding of a specific type of self-anchored suspension bridge whose main cable is three-dimensionally curved is proposed in this study. The method, referred to as the coordinate iteration method ...

Abstract: Vibration-based methods are promising for damage identification; however, their capabilities for damage identification under temperature variations are usually limited. In the paper, a vibration-based nondestructive global ...

Abstract: This study investigates rheological effects of blood on steady flows in a nonplanar distal end-to-side anastomosis. The shear-thinning behavior of blood is depicted by a Carreau–Yasuda model and ...

Abstract: Long-span cable-stayed bridges usually adopt a semifloating system scheme to reduce the internal force of seismic response. However, the seismic measures based on conventional fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) cannot prevent ...

Abstract: The flexural band gaps in a double-beam system on elastic foundations periodically interconnected by local resonators with two degrees of freedom were investigated using the plane wave expansion method. The transmission ...
