A cylindrical elastomer tube can stay in an everted state without any external forces. If the thickness of the tube is small, the everted tube, except for the regions close to the free ends of the tube, maintains a cylindrical shape, and if the thickness is larger than a critical value, the cross-section of the everted tube becomes noncircular, which is caused by mechanical instability. Althoug...

Recently friction stir welding for manufacturing of welded tubes has been developed. Friction stir welding is a continuous solid state welding process in which a non-consumable rotating tool using severe plastic deformation Can join materials can be join materials. Commonly, a portion of a specially shaped rotating tool is plunged between metalsjoint cross section and adjacent faces of the join...

An Adaptative Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is developed to predict the acoustic form function (FF) for an infinite length cylindrical shell excited perpendicularly to its axis. The Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) is used like a comparison tool between the calculated FF by the analytical method and that predicted by the neuro-fuzzy technique for a copper tube. During the application of t...

Abstract The paper presents the solution of conjugated heat exchange problem in a cylindrical ribbed tube using open integrated platform OpenFOAM. obtained results allow estimating fluid heating along channel as well temperature difference on walls tube. It is shown that minimum observed center tube, and maximum one closer to walls.

Mathematical models considering motile bacterial transport within a geometrically restrictive cylindrical tube were developed. Two macroscopic transport parameters, the random motility coefficient as a self-diffusion coefficient of the cell population and the chemotactic velocity as a chemical-induced velocity, were derived. The three-dimensional cell balance equation was reduced to forms simil...

Tube hydroforming (THF) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. In this paper, T- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. Subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and fini...

The classical BGK model for describing the flow of a rarefied gas in a cylindrical tube is used as a starting point for developing an equivalent integral-equation formulation of the considered class of problems. While the problems of Poiseuille flow and thermal creep in a cylindrical tube have already been well solved in terms of a pseudo problem obtained from an integral-equation definition of...

INTRODUCTION The Shiley™ Flexible adult tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard™ cuff has been designed through its geometry, materials, diameter, and wall thickness to minimize micro-aspiration of fluids past the cuff and to provide an effective air seal in the trachea while also minimizing the risk of excessive contact pressure on the tracheal mucosa. The cuff also has a deflated profile that may a...
