Abstract: An experimental investigation of bedforms generated by the combined action of waves and currents is carried out in a wave basin. Tests with different wave conditions are performed on two types of sand beds with 0.15 and ...

Abstract: This paper presents an incremental approach based on the theories of continuum damage and anisotropic plasticity to model the forces that develop during timber cutting. The model used is based on the thermodynamics of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the onset of motion, and the subsequent finite-amplitude convection, in a shallow porous cavity filled with a non-Newtonian fluid. A power-law model is used to characterize ...

Abstract: More than 20% of the bridges in the United States were built more than 50 years ago, at a time in which intense precipitation events were much less common. However, very little work has been done on the use of scour ...

Abstract: A solar air heater (SAH) is a simple device that collects solar radiation and transfers it to the processed air generally used in several thermal engineering applications such as space and industrial process heating and ...

Abstract: In this paper, experimental work has been presented to study the novel design of a solar crop dryer that includes an inverted absorber perforate type collector with forced airflow. A novel design configuration was constructed ...
