Abstract: This study describes a micromechanics model for estimating the effective vascular permeability for a biological tissue containing parallel microvessels subjected to finite deformations. The representative volume element ...

Abstract: It has been proposed that asymmetric thermoelectric (TE) legs may enhance the TE energy conversion efficiency. This work presents an analytical model for the temperature field in nonprismatic TE legs and the energy conversion ...

Abstract: Abstract. This article is concerned with the reflection and refraction of an acoustic wave at the interface between a fluid and a partially saturated porous material filled by two immiscible fluids. The governing equations ...
