Abstract: The wave speed in initially elliptical collapsible tubes was studied. The celerity c of pressure waves of small amplitude was calculated from the numerically defined area-pressure law of the ...

Abstract: The topic of this study concerns principally representative models of some elliptical thin-walled anatomic vessels and polymeric tubes under uniform negative transmural pressure p (internal pressure ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation of pulmonary flow properties was carried out in a monoalveolar model composed of a balloon and a compliant tube in series, subjected to pressure ramps. The flow is ...

Abstract: Simple and accurate approaches to predict failure pressures in corroded pipelines are outlined in this work. It is shown that failure pressures for corroded pipelines can be predicted from the ...
