the effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the mhd mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. the velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

We present a physically-based deformable model which can be used to track and to analyze non-rigid motion of dynamic structures in time sequences of 2D or 3D medical images. The model considers an object undergoing an elastic deformation as a set of masses linked by springs, where the natural lengths of the springs is set equal to zero, and is replaced by a set of constant equilibrium forces, w...

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas released from natural occurrences (such as volcanoes, hot springs, municipal waste decomposition) and human economic activities treatment biogas production). Even at very low concentrations, H2S can cause adverse health impacts fatality. As such, the containment proper management of paramount importance. The recovered then be transformed into hydrogen (H2) ...

This paper proposes a mass-spring model of the dynamics of a human thigh based on real data acquired. Using a force sensor mounted on a robot arm the deformation of the thigh with respect to an external force is measured. The stress-strain curves we obtained exhibit a strong non-linearity due to the incompressibility of the human tissue. Hence, we propose a two-layer model of the thigh using bo...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

Non-point agricultural pollution is a major concern in groundwater management. To investigate nitrate input to the subsurface through groundwater recharge, thirteen natural springs were sampled. Discharge, electrical conductivity (EC), nitrate concentration, pH value and water temperature were monitored every two weeks from January 2010 till February 2011 at selected springs in the Osona region...

This paper analyzes and calculates the mechanical properties of composite tape spring structures during folding bending establishes a non-linear control equation for laminate structures. Accurate expressions displacements are obtained. The influence cross-section’s central angle spring’s ply thickness on their analyzed. Finite element numerical analysis is performed [−45 45]s laminated springs,...
