In this paper, the equation of motion of an elastic 2 DoF wing model has been derived using Lagranges method. The aerodynamic loads on the wing were calculated via the Strip-Theory and the effect of compressibility was included. Wing deflections due to bending and twist motions were determined using the Assume-Mode method. The aeroelastic equations were solved numerically using the V-g method. ...

OBJECTIVE To explore triceps skinfold (TSF) compressibility and its associated factors among hospitalized patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among hospitalized adult patients. Evolution of tissue compressibility during two seconds was registered and 120 TSF values were obtained using a digital calliper. Compressibility was determined according to the difference between th...

Two discretizations of a 9-velocity Boltzmann equation with a BGK collision operator are studied. A Chapman-Enskog expansion of the PDE system predicts that the macroscopic behavior corresponds to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with additional terms of order Mach number squared. We introduce a fourth-order scheme and compare results with those of the commonly used lattice Boltzmann ...

Analytic expressions were derived for the compressibility factor and residual internal energy of the square-well plus Sutherland fluid. In this derivation, we used the second order Barker-Henderson perturbation theory based on the macroscopic compressibility approximation together with an analytical expression for radial distribution function of the reference hard sphere fluid. These properties...

We exploit recent advances in computational topology to study the compressibility of various proteins found in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Our fundamental tool is the persistence diagram, a topological invariant which captures the sizes and robustness of geometric features such as tunnels and cavities in protein molecules. Based on certain physical and chemical properties conjectured to impact...

The stability of an infinitely long, inviscid but compressible liquid jet under sinusoidal disturbances of the surface, still assumed to be sharp, is considered. This extends Rayleigh's theory. We show that despite compressibility the unstable region is /.> kc = 2na (/. wavelength, a radius) as Rayleigh's criterion for incompressible liquids states. The character of the unstable long wavelength...

Sangeeta Gupta, J. D. Callen and C. C. Hegna Department of Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706-1687 (Dated: July 8, 2004) Abstract Eigenmode analysis of a magnetic-shear-localized ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) interchange instability in the presence of plasma compressibility indicates the marginal stability criterion (DI = 1/4) is not affected by the compressibilit...

The ultrasonic velocity (U), density ( ρ) and viscosity (η) measurements have been carried out for four amino acids namely L-alanine, L-leucine, L-valine and L-proline in aqueous sodium acetate solution as a function of composition at 303, 308 and 313K. Experimental data have been used to estimate the adiabatic compressibility (β), change in adiabatic compressibility (∆β), relative change in ad...
