Biogas from anaerobic digestion of organic waste is a potential alternative to the partial substitution of petroleum derived fuels because it is from renewable resources that are widely available. The effect of long term ...

In the first part of this paper series, a complete formulation for fully coupled ALE analysis of large deformation solid mechanic problems was developed.  The formulation incorporated inertial, rate and thermal effects, ...

This paper presents the effect of rotor mass on nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rigid rotor supported by aerodynamic noncircular journal bearings. A finite element method has been employed to solve the Reynolds equation ...

Three-dimensional simulations are presented on the motion of a neutrally buoyant drop between two parallel plates at a finite-Reynolds-number in plane Poiseuille flow, under conditions of negligible gravitational force. ...

High phosphorus electroless nickel bath has been used to prepare composite coatings containing SiC particles (40 nm, 3 mm and 7 mm). The coated samples were subjected to heat treatment at 400 °C for 1h. The effect of heat ...

An optimal fuel guidance strategy with acceleration limit is derived for interception of maneuvering targets. The guidance/control system is assumed as a linear time-varying arbitrary-order and is identical in each channel. ...

Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) finite element method is extensively used for numerical simulation of solid mechanics problem. The versatility of the mesh in ALE approach makes it particularly effective and efficient ...

Steady three-dimensional free surface waves generated by three dimensional moving bodies are presented. By applying Green's theorem and the Green function method, an integral equation for the perturbation velocity potential ...
