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...

Parabolic equation methods for fluid and elastic media are extended to layered poro-elastic media, including some shallow-water sediments. A previous parabolic equation solution for one model of range-independent poro-elastic media [Collins et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 98, 1645-1656 (1995)] does not produce accurate solutions for environments with multiple poro-elastic layers. First, a dependent...

The generalized plane strain quasi-static thermoelastic deformations of laminated anisotropic thick plates are analyzed by using the Eshelby±Stroh formalism. The laminated plate consists of homogeneous laminae of arbitrary thicknesses. The three-dimensional equations of linear anisotropic thermoelasticity simpli®ed to the case of generalized plane strain deformations are exactly satis®ed at eve...

Phase-field modeling has already proved to be a suitable framework predict the initiation and propagation of drying cracks in variably saturated porous media. In this paper, we focus on some fundamental aspects which have not yet been given sufficient attention. first part, different formulations for total energy, characterized by choices coupling between damage poro-mechanical fields, are eval...

Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles underlying the quasi-static elastography concept and principles are addressed. The rationale for elastographic imaging is reinforced using data on elastic properties of normal and abnormal soft tissues. The several orders o...

We use the Lagrange identity method and the logarithmic convexity to obtain uniqueness and exponential growth of solutions in the thermoelasticity of type III and thermoelasticity without energy dissipation. As this is not the first contribution of this kind in this theory, it is worth remarking that the assumptions we use here are different from those used in other previous contributions. We a...

Our objectives were to characterize colonic viscoelastic properties of the human descending colon by assessing pressure-volume (P-V) relationships during barostatic balloon distension. In 16 healthy subjects, a balloon was inflated to 44 mmHg and then deflated to 0 mmHg in 4-mmHg steps at 10, 30, and 60 ml/min, allowing volume fluctuations to stabilize at each pressure increment. Thereafter, th...

In the present article, a comprehensive review of relevant literature is presented to highlight the role of fractional calculus in the field of thermoelasticity. This review is devoted to the generalizations of the classical heat conduction equation and formulation of associated theories of fractional thermoelasticity. The recently developed fractional order thermoelastic models are described w...

High-gain optical parametric amplification is an important nonlinear process used both as a source of coherent infrared light and nonclassical light. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate approach to that enables extremely large gains with low energy requirements. conventional media driven by femtosecond pulses, multiple dispersion orders limit the effective interaction length available f...
