The spline finite strip method (S.F.S.M.) for buckling analysis of plates and plate assemblies subjected to longitudinal compression and bending, transverse compression as well as shear is described. The method allows for the boundary conditions. Local buckling coefficients of plates with different boundary conditions under compression, bending and shear are calculated. Convergence studies with...

Running Title: Transmural mechanics at a LV epicardial pacing site ABSTRACT (250 words) Left ventricular (LV) epicardial pacing acutely reduces wall thickening at the pacing site. Because LV epicardial pacing also reduces transverse shear deformation, which is related to myocardial sheet shear, we hypothesized that impaired end-systolic wall thickening at the pacing site is due to reduction in ...

water stress effects on winter and spring leaves anatomy were investigated in experiments conducted at the experimental field of sb university of kerman using five wheat cultivars.xylem and phloem elements diameter and mesophyll, bundle sheath and epidermal cells area were measured in transverse sections prepared from middle parts of the leaves. results showed that significant difference exists...

A two-phase macroscopic model of blood in a stenosed catheterized artery under the influence of external transverse magnetic field is studied. The governing partial differential equations of the physical problem are solved analytically. The important blood flow characteristics in arteries namely resistive impedance and wall shear stress are discussed for various governing parameters like Hemato...

most of the earth's crust contains fluids, and fractures are common throughout the upper part. they exist at a wide range of scales from micro-fractures within grains to major faults and shear zones that traverse the crust. in this paper, the stress-dependent permeability in fractured rock masses have been investigated considering the effects of nonlinear normal deformation and shear dilation o...

The effects of viscosity on the irrotational motions of spherical cap bubble, Taylor bubbles in round tubes, Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability described in previous chapters were obtained by evaluating the viscous normal stress on potential flow. In gas-liquid flows, the viscous normal stress does not vanish and it can be evaluated on the potential. It can be said that in the cas...

In the present investigation, a mathematical model is developed to study the flow of blood in a multiple stenosed artery employing velocity slip condition under the externally applied transverse magnetic field. Blood is modeled as Herschel-Bulkley fluid to represent the non-Newtonian character of blood in small blood vessels. The expressions for wall shear stress, volumetric flow rate, axial ve...
