background:  the purpose of this study was to report the preoperative complaints and postoperative outcome of patients after removal of the radial head prosthesis.   methods:  this is a retrospective review of 14 adult patients (6 females and 8 males) from 2007 to 2011, who underwent radial head prosthesis removal by three surgeons. the average time between implantation and removal was 23 month...

in the present paper, an exact solution for transient response of an infinitely long functionally graded thick-walled cylinder subjected to dynamic pressures at the boundary surfaces is presented for arbitrary initial conditions. the cylinder is assumed to have a plane-strain condition and the dynamic pressures are assumed to be imposed uniformly and axisymmetrically on the boundary surfaces. m...

Closed form analytical double-series solution is presented for the multi-dimensional unsteady heat conduction problem in polar coordinates (2-D cylindrical) with multiple layers in the radial direction. Spatially non-uniform, but time-independent, volumetric heat sources are assumed in each layer. Separation of variables method is used to obtain transient temperature distribution. In contrast t...

in this research three-dimensional free vibration analysis of functionally graded circular plate with various boundary conditions is achieved. a semi-analytical method, which makes use of the state space method and the one-dimensional differential quadrature method, is used to obtain the vibration frequencies and dynamic responses of circular plates. numerical results are given to demonstrate t...

In this paper, numerical solution of the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers (BBMB) equation is obtained by using the mesh-free method based on the collocation method with radial basis functions (RBFs). Stability analysis of the method is discussed. The method is applied to several examples and accuracy of the method is tested in terms of $L_2$ and $L_infty$ error norms.

In this paper, a radially piezoelectric functionally graded rotating disk is investigated by the analytical solution. The variation of material properties is assumed to follow a power law along the radial direction of the disk. Two resulting fully coupled differential equations in terms of the displacement and electric potential are solved directly. Numerical results for different profiles of i...

Sir,?May I have a little space in your esteemed journal for a few lines which may be useful to some of your readers. In cholera the condition of the pulse is the most important indication for intravenous injection of saline solution, and even my renowned professor Sir L. Rogers says, " if there is no pulse at the wrist, or if it is barely perceptible, there can be 110 hesitation about the immed...

in this paper, a technique generally known as meshless numerical scheme for solving fractional dierential equations isconsidered. we approximate the exact solution by use of radial basis function(rbf) collocation method. this techniqueplays an important role to reduce a fractional dierential equation to a system of equations. the numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and ability of this me...

Load flow is a very significant and essential tool for the analysis of any power system and is used in the operational as well as development stages. In this work, a modified load flow method is formulated for radial distribution systems. The topological characteristics of distribution systems are employed to make proposed load flow solution possible. The proposed method makes use of two matric...

The fully-developed thermal and hydrodynamic steady laminar pipe flow of the SPTT fluid is here investigated for the constant wall temperature boundary condition, assuming constant properties and negligible axial conduction. Two limiting conditions were identified: the solution pertaining to the equilibrium between axial convection and radial conduction of thermal energy, and the solution of th...
