Abstract: In the context of this work, a violin string motion is examined using a finite element approach. The string is formulated via ideal string elements and is bowed at one point on the string; hence, there is a nodal contact ...

Abstract: AbstractStratocumulus clouds play an important role in climate cooling and are hard to predict using global climate and weather forecast models. Thus, previous studies in the literature use observations and numerical ...

Abstract: The electrocatalytic degradation of phenol has been investigated by combining two processes, namely electrocoagulation (EC) and electrooxidation (EO), as a hybrid process. Ti/Pt-Fe and Ti/Pt-Al pairs of electrodes have ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of stochastic model errors on the significance test for velocities in the analysis of a global positioning system (GPS) position time series. This effect is studied by considering the ...
