Abstract: Flows in uniform, parallel, and series microchannels have been investigated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. For the uniform microchannel cases, at higher pressure ratio, ...

Abstract: An apparatus has been developed for performing compression deformation experiments on oriented metallic single crystals to provide data for validation of 3-D dislocation dynamics simulations. The ...

Abstract: Results from full-scale physical experiments are reported to identify and quantify short-term lateral response around the perimeter of a modular polymer stormwater collection structure during backfilling and under applied ...

Abstract: Results from full-scale physical experiments are reported to quantify the column forces that develop in a modular, polymer stormwater collection structure when buried at its minimum soil cover and subjected to design-truck ...

Abstract: Predictive simulations of the mastication system would significantly improve our understanding of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and the planning of cranio-maxillofacial surgery procedures. Respective computational ...

Abstract: Irrigation has evolved as a major factor in commercial agriculture. However, the recent overproduction in the sector, combined with a restricted worldwide economy, has caused concern for users of many irrigation activities. ...
