Abstract To explore the optimization seismic design of frame-multi-ribbed composite wall structure, firstly finite element model a six story structure is established based on software SAP2000. Secondly critical parameters multi under action are analysised using analysis software. Finally response different rib combinations and optimal arrangement rule studied. The results reveals that lateral s...

We demonstrate how phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on plants) and the ribbed, hexagonal, or parallelogram planforms on plants can be understood as the energy-minimizing buckling pattern of a compressed sheet (the plant's tunica) on an elastic foundation. The key idea is that the elastic energy is minimized by configurations consisting of special triads of periodic deformations. We study ...

The present work is carried out to investigate heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of fluid (air) flow through turbulent channel i.e. parallel plate heat exchanger for different geometry and designs parameters, with a bottom plate applied to uniform constant heat flux thermal boundary condition, and upper plate is provided with a insulated condition. The fluid domain is designed u...

Flow characteristics and heat transfer performances of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) aqueous solutions in the microchannels with flow control structures were investigated in this study. The researches were carried out with various flow rates and concentrations of the CMC aqueous solutions. The results reveal that the pin-finned microchannel has the most uniform temperature distribution on the s...

Abstract. This paper presents a part from one broader research project on ribbed vaults. The main goal is to generate parametric objects library for vaults, suitable both HBIM system, structural analysis or Cultural Heritage dissemination. Starting Treatises study we have analyzed different classification system and terminology used vaults components in languages, especially English, French, Sp...

This paper presents a method for the numerical simulation of reciprocating compressors for household refrigeration. The compressor is regarded as a set of volumes and one-dimensional, variable-area ducts connected together. The model describes all relevant features of the compressor, including suction and discharge mufflers and automatic valves. The equations governing the unsteady flow of a re...

In one dimensional codes, a cross section area variation versus the duct length can produce important mass conservation errors when the gas-dynamic through the ducts of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is modelled. The CE-SE scheme (Conservation Element-Solution Element) is a numerical method that combines accuracy and speed in constant section ducts, but it presents a lack in mass conservat...
