A higher order theory for beams based on expansion of the two dimensional (2-D) equations of elasticity into Legendre’s polynomials series has been developed. The 2-D equations of elasticity have been expanded into Legendre’s ...

The miscible displacement flow of a viscoplastic fluid by a Newtonian fluid is studied numerically and analytically in a near-horizontal 2D channel. We focus on a density-unstable flow configuration where the displacing ...

A model for the deformation of an elastic solid reinforced by embedded fibers is presented in which elastic resistance of the fibers to bending is incorporated. We developed the equilibrium equations and necessary boundary ...

The ground topography effect on the wind flow is significant. The knowledge of the flow behavior near ground is crucial in the development of wind power, especially in the choice of suitable sites and for estimation of ...

Many of 2D mechanical models have been devel-oped to simulate liquid sloshing of a partially filled tank with different shapes. However, those models didn’t represent properly the complex liquid motion, especially in the ...

Modeling of hypervelocity impact (HVI) on materials and structures is often associated with high computational expenses, especially when inhomogeneous materials are involved. To reduce computational cost, complex materials ...

The Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube (RHVT) is a small tube without any moving parts receiving compressed air from a tangential inlet and exhausting cold air from a small hole at one end of the tube while exhausting hot air from ...

Numerical simulations for the effect of body forces due to aircraft acceleration on the airflow and contaminant dispersion in a model for a passenger aircraft cabin are performed in this study. It was found that those body ...

The Equations of Motion (EoM) software, developed by University of Windsor Vehicle Dynamics and Control Research Group, can be used to generate linear or linearized equations of motion for mechanical systems, and is ...

Strain has been used extensively in enhancing the electron mobility for high speed and low power transistors. As stretching the silicon atoms away beyond their normal atomic space has a significant influence on the carrier ...
