The linearized treatment of the flow over a partially cavitating single hydrofoil having a flat pressure surface and a circular-arc suction side is presented. The flow is treated as a two-dimensional, steady, inviscid flow. Further assumptions made are those of incompressibility and irrotationality. The results obtained are compared with experiment and generally good correlation is found for th...

The results of our investigation of several measurements on digitized 2D and 3D objects with fuzzy borders are presented. The performance of surface area, volume, and roundness measure estimators for digitized balls with fuzzy borders is analyzed. The method we suggest provides significant improvement in precision, compared to analogous estimation results obtained on a crisp (hard) segmentation...

ABSTRACT: Numerical simulations using continuum mechanics and elasto-plasticity are often used in geotechnical design. Determination of collapse loads may be part of such simulations. However, non-associated flow rules applied to frictional materials normally provide lower collapse loads than stated by classical methods. Should we stick to the classical solutions for design or should we rather ...

Growing human population has caused the increase in the tempo of construction activity world wide.Since new techniques are either available or constantly emerging the sites which have been deemed unsuitable are being put to use for the construction of new and challenging structures. The foundations for the residential buildings in paddy fields and marshy land with water table near the ground le...

Abstract The accurate calculations of adsorption equilibrium for multicomponent gas systems are of great importance in many applications. In this paper, five two-dimensional equations of state 2D-EOS, i.e. Van der Waals, Eyring, Zhou-Ghasem-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, were examined to find out their abilities to predict adsorption equilibrium for pure and multi-component ga...
