Control volume finite difference analysis of the transient temperature distributions and associated induced thermal stresses in Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1) Reactor vessel due to coolant heating has beenmodelledto investigatethe structural integrity of thevessel after 20 years of operation. Theinduced thermal stresses within the thickness of the cylindrical reactor vessel were also solved...

The cavitation field in a cylindrical vessel bottom-insonified by a 19.7kHz large area transducer is studied experimentally. By adding controlled amounts of Poly-Ethylene Glycol (PEG) to water, the viscosity of the liquid is varied between one- and nine-fold the viscosity of pure water. For each liquid, and for various displacement amplitudes of the transducer, the liquid is imaged by a high-sp...

in this study, a cylindrical bolling probe was developed and evaluated for measuring stress in soil under tire traffic. the probe consists of a silicon rubber head for sensing the soil stress, a pvc tube for transferring the liquid pressure, a digital pressure sensor and a syringe for filling the probe with water and adjusting the initial inclusion pressure. a tank with pressurized air was used...

We present a prototype software to virtually deploy pipeline ow diverting stents in intracranial vessels with aneurysms. The nal objective is to understand the biological and biomechanical mechanisms underlying the stent-induced clot formation within the aneurysm. The weaving pattern of the selected pipeline stent is described w.r.t. cylindrical coordinates. Patient-speci c 3D vascular geometry...
