We analytically analyze finite plane strain twisting deformations of a hollow cylinder made of an isotropic and inhomogeneousMooney-Rivlinmaterial withmaterial moduli varying in the radial direction. The cylinder is deformed by applying either tangential tractions on the inner surface and tangential displacements on the outer surface or vice versa. The radial variation of the moduli is found th...

When humans manipulate objects, the sensorimotor system coordinates three-dimensional forces to optimize and maintain grasp stability. To do this, the CNS requires precise information about the magnitude and direction of load force (tangential to skin surface) plus feedback about grip force (normal to skin). Previous studies have shown that there is rapid, precise coordination between grip and ...

The turbulent flow in a tangential inlet / tangential outlet vortex tube is numerically simulated using a modified   k turbulence model. The results are compared to experimental measurements from literature. The modified model shows better agreement with the local tangential velocity measurements compared to the standard and RNG   k turbulence models. The flow structure is also demonstrated...

We determine which tangential varieties of homogeneously embedded rational homogeneous varieties are spherical. We determine the homogeneous coordinate rings and rings of covariants of the tangential varieties of homogenously embedded compact Hermitian symmetric spaces (CHSS). We give bounds on the degrees of generators of the ideals of tangential varieties of CHSS and obtain more explicit info...
