This paper denouements the study of operating parameters of a hydraulic transmission system with and without the application of hydraulic accumulator. In this respect, the hydraulic system, designed in the open circuit mode, consists of the fixed displacement hydraulic pump which gives pressured fluid to the hydro-motor and charges the accumulator as well. The load on the motor is controlled hy...

a series of tests and also numerical analyses were conducted to explore the mechanical behavior of a mixture of coarse gravelsize particles floating in a matrix of silt, sand or clay. the research is a step forward in an ongoing investigation on behavior of composite clay, which is used as the core material of some large embankment dams all over the world. after providing the reader with an ove...

Up to now most of the existing water supply network analyses have been based on demand-driven simulation models. These models assume that nodal outflows are fixed and are always available. However, this method of simulation neglects the pressure-dependent nature of demand that is characterized by changes in actual nodal outflows particularly during critical events like major mechanical or hydra...

Steel plates are used in various structures, such as the structures of the deck and body of ships, bridges, and aerospace industry. In this study, we investigate the buckling and post-buckling behavior of rectangular steel plates having circular cutouts with two boundary conditions: first, clamped supports at upper and lower ends and free supports at other edges; second, clamped supports at upp...

This paper presents a modeling approach for three-dimensional simulation of hydraulic fracturing of jointed rock. The base for a successful computer based simulation for productive use is the ability to calculate the fractured volume with sufficient accuracy and efficiency. Especially in cases three dimensional effects have to be taken into account, the common commercial software tools in oil a...

OBJECTIVES Leaflet injury has been documented to occur during the deployment of valved stents (VSs). The pathological aspects, however, of this injury are difficult to quantify. Conversely, the hydraulic conductance of a (pericardial) membrane may be easily determined. The impact of crimping and deployment of VS on this parameter was therefore investigated. METHODS Bovine pericardial square (...

The research involved the design of pipe positioning equipment for repair natural gas and oil pipelines. This paper presents results hydraulic straightening device its practical implementation. Several concept calculations analyses were carried out during design. final layout was selected from several possible solutions.

Soil hydrau-physical data are important for many hydrological modelings. They are the main variables controllingthe key processes such as water and chemicals movement and transport in the soil profiles. This study was conductedin order to analyze the spatial distribution of selected soil hydrau-physcial characteristics including infiltration rate(IR), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), bulk...
