Abstract: A plate strip of infinite length and constant width is cantilevered on a uniform elastic support along one edge and free along its opposite edge. A normal line load of constant intensity ...

Abstract: A major challenge facing the development of distributed receiver solar systems is the efficient transport of high temperature thermal energy from the collectors to the point of use. As receiver ...

Abstract: Very general relations are derived in compact form for fluid-film lubrication with variable material properties. Rigorous consideration of mechanical work leads to simple (and apparently novel) ...

Abstract: The purpose of the present Note is to show how the general axisymmetric photoelastic problem can be solved using only the integrated data. Indeed, the axisymmetric problem is reduced to a ...

Abstract: A model of mini heat sink with microchannels was developed to obtain homogeneous heat transfer capability. The channels are constructed in the form of eight triangular arrays based on a square substrate. Air is sucked from ...

Abstract: The problem considered is that of flow in the two parallel channels formed by the introduction of a long thin plate into a duct of uniform rectangular cross section. The plate is slightly ...
