One-Dimensional Volume Change Characteristics of Sands Under Very Low Confining Stresses

Very low probability lung scan findings: A need for change

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of PE in patients with V/Q scans interpreted as representing a very low probability (VLP) of PE (1-3 small segmental perfusion defects with a normal chest radiograph). An analysis of the entire data set obtained during the PIOPED study was performed. Of the total of 1,359 patients in whom the presence or absence of PE was confirmed, 80 ...

Very high-order finite volume method for one-dimensional convection diffusion problems

We propose a new finite volume method to provide very high-order accuracy for the convection diffusion problem. The main tool is a polynomial reconstruction based on the mean-value to provide the best order. Numerical examples are proposed to show the method efficiency. Key–Words: Finite Volume, very high-order, convection-diffusion, polynomial reconstruction.

One-Dimensional Transient Thermal and Mechanical Stresses in FGM Hollow Cylinder with Piezoelectric Layers

In this paper, an analytical method is developed to obtain the solution for the one dimensional transient thermal and mechanical stresses in a hollow cylinder made of functionally graded material (FGM) and piezoelectric layers. The FGM properties are assumed to depend on the variable r and they are expressed as power functions of r but the Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Transient te...
