In this paper an exact analysis to study the combined effects of thermal diffusion (Soret) and heat generation on a mixed convection flow past an infinite vertical porous plate in presence of thermal radiation has been made. The governing system of partial differential equations subject to favorable boundary conditions is being solved analytically. Cogly-Vincentine-Gilles equilibrium approximat...

This study investigates the time-dependent long-term creep strain in a composite cylinder made of glass/vinylester with a unidirectional ply. The cylinder is subjected to an internal pressure and the boundary condition is free–free and acts as thermal insulation. The classical lamination theory (CLT) is used to derive the governing equations as a second-order equation to determine the radial, c...

In the benchmark on switches and crossings, simulations have been carried out in different switch configurations operational conditions, with a specified wheel/rail friction coefficient of ?=0.35 considered as dry friction. This means that contamination or third-body layers are not taken into consideration, thus using theoretical creep curve is much steeper than actual curves measured real rail...

This analysis is performed to study the momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of MHD mixed convective flow past inclined porous plate in porous medium, including the effect of fluid suction. The fluid is assumed to be steady, incompressible and dense. Similarity solution is used to transform the problem under consideration into coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations which are the...

spark plasma sintering (sps) method, as plasma activated sintering, is a method applicable for rapid sintering of metals and ceramics. owing to the advantage of rapid heating, the alumina ceramics obtained by sps have a grain size and density comparable to those of hot pressed ones. the increase of densification rate may be related to some difference in ion transport characteristics. this study...

the influence of flour content and immersion time in water on the creep behavior of composites made from high density polyethylene (hdpe) waste and mdf (medium density fiberboard) flour was investigated. mixing was carried out by a twin screw extruder and the sample was manufactured by flat hot press. firstly, the modulus of elasticity and bending strength of various mdf flour-polyethylene comp...

Articular cartilage damage is a primary feature of osteoarthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis). Repairing articular highly challenging due to its avascular/aneural nature low cellularity. To induce functional neocartilage formation, the tissue substitute must have mechanical properties which can adapt well loading conditions joint. Among various biomaterial...

We report on detailed laboratory experiments designed to illustrate the frictional behavior of granular volcanic debris. The materials include pyroclastic flow debris from Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat, and from Stromboli Volcano, Italy, and lahar deposits from Mount St. Helens. Experiments were conducted in a servo-controlled, double-direct shear apparatus under conditions of displacemen...
