In the present study, a compact analytical model is developed to determine the pressure drop of fully-developed, incompressible, and constant properties slip-flow through arbitrary cross-section microchannels. An averaged firstorder Maxwell slip boundary condition is considered. Introducing a relative velocity, the difference between the bulk flow and the boundary velocities, the axial momentum...

In the current study moment - curvature behavior of basalt fibred concrete beams made with fibre reinforced polymer bars and normal steel rebars are evaluated. Basalt M30 grade were casted BFRP separately to flexural properties bars. From load –deflection plots, characteristics such as at first crack, ultimate strength, deflection centre crack width failure Deflections measured central point un...

We estimate Brune-type stress drops for over 70,000 southern California M 1.5–4 earthquakes from 1996 to 2019 using a P-wave spectral decomposition approach. Based on our recent work documenting hard-to-resolve trade-offs between absolute drop, drop scaling with moment, high-frequency falloff rate, and empirical corrections path attenuation terms, we adopt new approach in which the average corn...

BACKGROUND Mechanical loading during exercise has been shown to promote tissue remodeling. Safe and accessible exercise may be beneficial to populations at risk of diminished bone and joint health. We examined the effect of drop height and instruction on knee loading during a drop-landing task and proposed a task that makes use of drop heights that may be appropriate for rehabilitation purposes...
