Granular materials whether dry or immersed in fluid show dilation compaction depending upon the initial conditions, solid fraction and normal stress. Here we probe transient response of a dense granular suspension subjected to change applied stress under simple shear. In this aim, normal-stress-imposed discrete element particle simulations are developed considering contributions arising from dr...

Weakly ionized plasmas, formed in high enthalpy hypersonic flows, can be actively manipulated via imposed magnetic fields—a concept termed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow control. Imposed MHD effects, within flows that exhibit multiple shock interactions, are consequential for emerging aerospace technologies, including the possibility of replacing mechanical control surfaces with actuation. Howe...

Background: Expanded polystyrene granules (EPG) can be used as an aggregate for producing lightweight concrete (LWC). EPG was to make LWC with a density of 1326kg/m 3 and 1337kg/m 3, while the without fiber had 1320kg/m . Due low strength brittleness LWC, need improve properties this type is necessary. Objective: The aim paper research investigate possible ways enhancing mechanical LWC. Hence, ...
