Abstract This article reports the effects of friction on flow stress-strain curve obtained from uniaxial compression test. Uniaxial test was done at deformation temperature range 575 °C–650 °C and strain rates 0.001 s −1 , 0.01 0.1 0.5 to a 0.6 using Gleeble ® 3500 thermo-mechanical simulator. The parameter calculated by analytical equation literature. study results. results showed variation be...

An image segmentation scheme that utilizes image-based flow fields in a curve evolution framework is presented. Geometric curve evolution methods require an edge function and a vector field with certain characteristics that are obtained from the image itself. A vector field borrowed from the edgeflow segmentation method is utilized both to obtain an edge function and to guide the curve evolutio...

The purpose of this study, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), was to examine the relationship of dyspnoea, rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS), to 1) tidal ventilatory variables measured on exercise and 2) pre-exercise lung function. Twenty one patients (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) mean (SD) 1.19 (0.32) l) were studied. During a preliminary test,...

Abstract: Rheological behaviour of fluids in mixing systems was studied using a simplified approach in shear rate calculation. The efficiency of this approach is investigated from Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, exploring also the geometry of mixing systems. Results are favourably compared with those obtained from previous published works. It is shown that this approach does not require the...

We study models of the motion by mean curvature of an (1+1) dimensional interface with random forcing. For the well-posedness of the models we prove existence and uniqueness for certain degenerate nonlinear stochastic evolution equations in the variational framework of Krylov-Rozovskĭı, replacing the standard coercivity assumption by a Lyapunov type condition. Ergodicity is established for the ...

We consider the curve straightening flow of inextensible, open, planar curves generated by the Kirchhoff bending energy. It can be considered as a model for the motion of elastic, inextensible rods in a high friction regime. We derive governing equations, namely a semilinear fourth order parabolic equation for the indicatrix and a second order elliptic equation for the Lagrange multiplier. We p...
