Previous studies have measured thoracic range of motion (RoM) using either skin-mounted devices or supine CT-imaging and have reported quite different RoMs. Given the inherent shortcomings of measurements of vertebrae ...

The performance of a flat plate single-pass solar air heater (SAH) modified at the entrance region of the heater was experimentally investigated. The entrance region was covered with glass cover instead of steel cover. The ...

Shot peening is one of the surface treatment processes usually used for the improvement of fatigue strength of metallic parts by inducing residual stress field in them. The evaluation of shot peening parameters experimentally ...

Electrohydrodynamic Fe3O4- Ethylene glycol nanofluid forced convection is simulated in existence of thermal radiation. The porous lid driven cavity has one moving positive electrode. Single phase model has been applied to ...

This study aims to analyze the rolling contact fatigue influenced by residual stresses caused by the contact of the wheel and rail and its manufacturing process. For this purpose, a rail available in Iran railway is used ...

This paper deals with hole-enlarging multiflute drill processing. The analysis of existing structures, their advantages and disadvantages is carried out. Cutting conditions during hole-enlarging multiflute drill processing ...

In this paper, effects of a wedge on the performance of planing craft in calm water are experimentally investigated. Experiments are carried out on three different cases distinguished by the wedge type. The model, built ...

Heat transfer has considerable applications in different industries such as designing of heat exchanger, nuclear reactor cooling, control system for spacecraft and designing of microelectronics cooling. As the surfaces of ...

The effects of viscous dissipation and convective boundary condition on the two-dimensional convective flow of a second grade liquid over a stretchable surface with suction/injection and heat generation are investigated. ...

Due to flexibility of thin plates, high amplitude vibrations are observed when they are subjected to severe dynamic loads. Due to the extensive application of circular plates in industry, attenuating the undesired vibrations ...

A-TIG welding is a welding method in which TIG welding is conducted by covering a thin layer of activating flux on the weld bead beforehand. The most benefit of this process is the gain in weld penetration depth. A-TIG ...
