Abstract:

Phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between Oil-in-Aqueous dispersion and Aqueous-in-Oil dispersion. A theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. Experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were compared with those obtained by the Yeo et al. model. Comparison shows that there is a reasonable agreement between the suggested model and the experimental results taken from the literature. It is also pointed out that this model generates smaller relative errors than the previous work of Yeo et al. does.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

A Simple, Artistic and Efficient Modification of the Inversion Method

     The simplest and fastest way of producing an acceptable and accurate cast is by adopting the two-pour or inversion method. This process is slightly cumbersome and messy due to difficulty of access. A much more efficient, easy and artistic way of accomplishing it is described by adopting a Rotating Cake Icing Table with a Silicone Baking Mat on top as an autoclavable non-stick barrier.

a simple strut-and-tie model for prediction of ultimate shear strength of rc deep beams

in this paper a new method based on strut-and-tie model (stm) is proposed to determine the shear capacity of simply supported rc deep beams and an efficiency factor for concrete with considering the effect of web reinforcements. it is assumed that, the total carried shear force by rc deep beam provided by two independent resistance, namely diagonal concrete strut due to strut-and-tie mechanism ...

a Comparative Theoretical Analysis for a Knitted Loop Model

The theory presented in this paper differs from previous ones in that no arbitrary loop shape is assumed. Rather a strophoid curve, that is similar to knitted fabric Loop shape, has been assumed as the basic mathematical function. Additionally, the theory is improved by adapting buckled elastic rod theory, leading to a new equation from a certain mathematical curve. This loop model is assumed t...
