Abstract: A probe which is capable of applying known, controlled pressures to the skin, and measuring the subsequent tissue deflections and skin surface temperatures has been designed and tested. This ...

Abstract: In order to determine the effect of application pressure on the accuracy of skin temperature measurements for area contact sensors, low values of pressure (2-20 mm Hg) were applied to the ...

Abstract: Propagation of a Love wave in an initially stressed fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer with an irregular boundary sandwiched between two isotropic half-spaces has been studied. The irregularity is assumed to be ...

Abstract: The present numerical investigation deals with steady natural convection flow in a closed square cavity when the bottom wall is sinusoidal heated and vertical walls are linearly heated, whereas ...

Abstract: An investigation concerned with the dynamic response of a composite structure to a moving load on its uppermost rough surface has been carried out analytically. The composite structure is comprised of an incompressible ...

Abstract: Manufacturing is an essential component of the economy, and globalization further influences it by the driving forces of outsourcing and distributed manufacturing with technological advances. However, the decreasing share ...

Abstract: The present study provides the analytical solution for magnetoelastic plane-wave diffraction by a rigid strip in an infinite orthotropic medium. The mathematical formulation of the considered model involves a mixed boundary ...

Abstract: In this study, a two-stage sequential oxic–anoxic packed bed bioreactor (PBR) was designed with polyurethane foam cubes as microbial immobilizing materials for the removal of phenol, cresol, and NH3-N from synthetic coking ...
