The shoulder of a packaging machine is a developable surface that guides the packing material without stretching or tearing. The shoulder is traditionally manufactured by bending a flexible plate along a given bending curve, also without stretching ortearing. In this paper, the shoulder geometry isdescribed mathematically b methods from classical differential geometry. For a given bending curve...

We demonstrate quantitative noninterferometric x-ray phase-amplitude measurement. We present results from two experimental geometries. The first geometry uses x rays diverging from a point source to produce high-resolution holograms of submicrometer-sized objects. The measured phase of the projected image agrees with the geometrically determined phase to within +/-7%. The second geometry uses a...

A simple analytical model is introduced for describing the combined effect of thixotropic and nonlocal flow in a homogeneous stress field. The adequately describes experimental rheo-MRI velocimetry profiles, measured milk microgel suspension cone-and-plate geometry.

The stress distribution on the tip of the cracks and the stress intensity factor on them are the main courses in the fracture mechanic. The stress intensity factor of the cracks with the different load exited and the different geometry are listed in the tables of the standard books. In all of them, the cracks are located in the central point of the plates. In the uniform edge loaded case, the c...

The optimal shape of a two dimensional turbulator above an isothermal flat plate is found by using numerical simulation. The turbulent boundary layer over the flat plate was disrupted at various situations by inserting a quadrilateral bar where the boundary layer thickness kept more than three times greater than the insert\'s height. As a result, the overall heat transfer coefficient of the wal...

OBJECTIVE Leukocyte retention in lung capillaries is observed in normal physiology and following a bacterial infection. It has been hypothesized that cells either become mechanically trapped or adhere to capillary endothelial cells via adhesion molecules. We propose that retention involves both mechanical and adhesive forces and that the biochemical adhesive force is modulated by mechanical for...

[1] Abstract: We predict plate motions from a comprehensive inversion of theoretical estimates of tectonic forces in order to evaluate the relative importance of these and the uncertainties of such models. Plate-driving forces from the mantle are calculated using global flow models that are driven by tomography and subduction-derived density fields. Observed and predicted plate velocities agree...

This work employs high-resolution 3D thermomechanical numerical models of the incipient oceanic spreading to investigate nucleation and long-term evolution of ridge-transform spreading patterns. The Eulerian–Lagrangian visco-plastic model allows for large strains and accounts for plate cooling by both heat conduction and hydrothermal circulation as well as for partial melting of the asthenosphe...

A model of the composition complex geometry based on three-dimensional elements with a cubic approximation desired variables for structural element and two-dimensional coating is described. An example calculating stress-strain state plate thin steel coatings considered.

Almost all known structures are designed for low weight and high strength. For metal structures, especially aircrafts and underwater vehicles, this means reinforcement in the form of ribs. This paper presents an analytic model for the prediction of the acoustic scattered field from such rib-reinforced structures. The geometry is assumed to be that of an infinite elastic plate reinforced with a ...
