ABSTRACT Of the over 800 exoplanets detected to date, over half are on non-circular orbits, with eccentricities as ...

Context. Eccentric accretion disks in superoutbursting cataclysmic and other binary systems. Aims. We study the development of finite eccentricity in accretion disks in close binary systems using a grid-based numerical scheme. We perform detailed parameter studies to explore the dependence on viscosity, disk aspect ratio, the inclusion of a mass-transfer stream and the role of the boundary cond...

Several studies have been published on the use of eccentric and non-circular chainrings. The findings of these studies have, however, not been consistent. Despite the lack of consistent positive results in terms of physiological responses, a consensus appears to prevail that the improved mechanical effectiveness of the oval chainring may lead to performance enhancement (e.g. increased crank pow...

The purpose of this study is to explore the numerical behavior circular RC short columns with different degrees confinement CFRP (0%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) wraps under concentric eccentric loading. analysis carried out by using an improved concrete plastic-damage model (CDPM) implemented in ABAQUS software for finite element (FE) analysis. FE simulated a total twenty-four specimens. findings were...
