Abstract: Mechanical modeling of the deformation of a liquidfilled spherical microcapsule indented by a sharp truncatedcone indenter was proposed, in which membrane permeability was taken into account. The change in the internal ...

Abstract: Computing times of equations based on the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS-IF97) were tested. Modern computer systems are optimized for ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematically exact solution of the continuum to the transient response of a vertical single beam buried partly in a nonlinear foundation because of a support displacement. The foundation has a ...

Abstract: The coupled vibrations of microcantilevers induced by airflow were analyzed to facilitate the development of high-speed information and sensing devices that use microactuator arrays. Simple formulas, ...

Abstract: To predict the behavior of gas-liquid two-phase flows in a centrifugal pump impeller, a three-dimensional numerical method is proposed on the basis of a bubbly flow model. Under the assumption ...

Abstract: Equations of motion for air bubbles in a centrifugal pump impeller were obtained and solved numerically for a flow in a radial-flow-type impeller, and the results were compared with experiments. ...

Abstract: The performance of an axial-flow pump was investigated under air-admitting conditions and the results were compared with those obtained for radial-flow pumps investigated in our previous studies. ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the determination of the performance change in centrifugal pumps operating under two-phase flow conditions using the velocities and void fractions calculated under ...
