Buckling analysis of thin cylindrical shells is very important due to their production process.  Usually longitudinal and transversal stiffeners are used to increase the buckling stiffness. In this paper, considering a thin cylindrical shell with longitudinal and transversal ribs subjected to axial force and lateral pressure, the influence of different aspect of axial force to lateral pressure ...

In this work, we applied Chebychev spectral collocation method to analyze the unsteady two-dimensional flow of nanofluid in a porous channel through expanding or contracting walls with large injection or suction. The solutions are used to study the effects of various parameters on the flow of the nanofluid in the porous channel. From the analysis, It was established that increase in expansion r...

Cogging torque reduction of axial flux permanent magnet brushless dc (PMBLDC) motor is an important issue which demands attention of machine designers during design process. This paper presents magnet notching technique to reduce cogging torque of axial flux PMBLDC motor designed for electric vehicle application. Reference axial flux PMBLDC motor of 250 W, 150 rpm is designed with 48 stator slo...

Power head is the main motive mechanism of rotary drilling rig. High axial pressure and high frequency is one of its typical working conditions. Axial loading test is a key point in power head performance tests. Overall design, system theoretical analysis and simulation of power head axial loading system were carried out. The bond graph model and state equations of power head axial servo loadin...

We construct axially symmetric dyons in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. In the Prasad-Sommerfield limit, they are obtained via scaling relations from axially symmetric multimonopole solutions. For finite Higgs self-coupling they are constructed numerically.

Atlanto-axial dislocation IS an uncommon condition. It is usually secondary to trauma, infection (tuberculous and non-tuberculous atlas and axis) and rheumatoid arthritis. Other uncommon causes reported include retropharyngeal abscess, malignant deposits, ankylosing spondylitis (Sorin, et al, 1979). Congenital atlanto-axial dislocation is rare. Wadia (1967) first drew attention to its relative ...

This paper focuses on finding techniques that can be used in cardiac magnetic resonance images semiautomatic registration in a simple and fast way. The suggested technique depends on using parts of one image selected by the user to be matched with another image of the same patient in order to find control points or correspondences between those two images. The experiment focuses on three techni...

A chordoma which occurs as a primary tumour outside the axial skeleton is known as an extra-axial chordoma, parachordoma or chordoma periphericum. It is extremely rare and therefore survival, recurrence and the rates of metastasis are not known. Whilst few recurrences have been described, the extra-axial chordoma has the potential for late recurrence at up to 12 years. Metastases are even less ...
