the mechanical strength of cumin seed and the effects of moisture content, seed size, speed and direction of loading on the force and energy required to fracture cumin seed were investigated. the results showed that moisture and loading direction were significant at the 1% level on the force and energy required to fracture cumin seed. the effects of seed size on force and loading speed on energ...

abstract: in this paper, the results of experimental and numerical simulation of low velocity impact process have been carried out to investigate energy absorption of composite sandwich panels with 3d woven fabrics of glass fibers and epoxy resin. for this purpose, diagrams of force-displacement of the quasi-static and quasi-dynamic impact tests were studied. for the finite element simulation, ...

We formulate and study two mathematical models of a thermoforming process involving membrane mould as implicit obstacle problems. In particular, the membrane-mould coupling is determined by thermal displacement that depends in turn on through contact region. The considered are stationary (or elliptic) model an evolutionary quasistatic) one. For first model, we prove existence weak solutions sol...

We analyze a quasi-static Biot system of poroelasticity for both compressible and incompressible constituents. The main feature this model is nonlinear coupling pressure dilation through the system's permeability tensor. Such has been analyzed previously from point view constructing weak solutions fully discretized approach. In treatment, we consider simplified Dirichlet type boundary condition...

In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
