James E. Bingham Award, established by members of the law firm of Bingham Summers Welsh & Spilman, in memory of James E. Bingham, Class of 1911, given each year to one or more distinguished seniors who will enroll in an A.B.A.-accredited law school for the next academic year. The cash award is presented at the Peck Award Banquet each spring with a member of Mr. Bingham’s law firm participating ...

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of slip velocity and shape of stenosis on non-Newtonian flow of blood through a stenosed arterial segment. Blood is modeled as Bingham-Plastic fluid in a uniform circular tube with a radially non-symmetric stenosis. The problem is investigated by a joint effort of analytical and numerical techniques. The influence of stenosis shape parameter, slip ve...

In this work, a magnetorheological (MR) damper based above-knee prosthesis is design and evaluated based on its performance in swing phase and in stance phase. Initially, a dynamic system model for swing phase of a prosthetic leg incorporating a single-axis knee with ideal MR damper was built. The dynamic properties of the damper are represented with Bingham parametric model. From Bingham model...

The present work deals with analyses of the effects of bearing curvature and non-Newtonian characteristics on the load capacity of an exponential rectangular squeeze film bearing using Bingham fluids as lubricants. Bingham fluids are characterized by an yield value and hence the formation of a “rigid” core in the region between the plates is justified. The flow is confined to the region between...

A theoretical analysis of an asymmetric roller bearing system with cavitation that is hydro-dynamically lightly loaded and lubricated by a thin, incompressible fluid presented. The lubricant adheres to the non-Newtonian Bingham plastic concept, in which viscosity should change depending on mean film temperature. continuity momentum equations, regulate flow, are first solved analytically then nu...

The stability of two-dimensional Poiseuille flow and plane Couette flow for concentrated suspensions is investigated. Linear stability analysis of the two-phase flow model for both flow geometries shows the existence of a convectively driven instability with increasing growth rates of the unstable modes as the particle volume fraction of the suspension increases. In addition it is shown that th...
