In this study, the non-linear creep behaviour of a thick-walled cylinder made of stainless steel 316 is investigated using a semi-analytical method. The thick-walled cylinder is under a uniform internal pressure and a non-axisymmetric thermal field as a function of the radial and circumferential coordinates. For the high temperature and stress levels, creep phenomena play a major role in stress...

An equation has been derived under simplified assumptions showing how the steady-state value of intraocular pressure depends on rate of secretion of aqueous, episcleral venous pressure, outflow facility at the chamber angle, colloid-osmotic pressure of the blood, systemic arterial blood pressure, pressure distribution over the vascular tree of the eye, and filtration properties of the vasculatu...

The effect of constant background vorticity on the pressure beneath steady long gravity waves at the surface of a fluid is investigated. Using an asymptotic expansion for the streamfunction, we derive a model equation and a formula for the pressure in a flow with constant vorticity. The model equation was previously found by Benjamin (1962), [3], and is given in terms of the vorticity ω0, and t...

The present work aims to investigate the challenges in determining the surface pressure distribution using particle image velocimetry (PIV) in comparison with pressure sensitive paint (PSP) measurements. The aim is to assess if PIV may be regarded as a complementary method to PSP, or even as a possible replacement. The investigation is based on two different test cases: 1. the attached flow aro...

an analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. theequation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume,...

‎the object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting‎ ‎quasi-conformal curvature tensor‎. ‎at first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is einstein‎ ‎and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying‎ ‎einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant‎. ‎next‎, ‎we prove that if the perfect...

Jet impingement heat transfer is an effective and practical approach that is employed in many industrial processes where heating, cooling, or drying is required. Details of the heat or mass transfer rate have been investigated both experimentally and numerically and can be found in the published literature. In most of the numerical studies, control-volume approach has been employed to solve the...

Nowadays, functionally graded materials (FGM) are widely used in many industrial, aerospace and military fields. On the other hand, the interest in the use of shrink-fitted assemblies is increasing for designing composite tubes, high-pressure vessels, rectors and tanks. Although extensive researches exist on thick-walled cylindrical shells, not many researches have been done on shrink-fitted th...

in this paper, the transient inertial viscoelastic flow around a circular cylinder is investigated numerically. a second order finite-volume method is used to increase the numerical accuracy. here, the giesekus model is used as the constitutive equation. this nonlinear model has prominent ability in describing normal stress differences and viscosity in power-law regions. the impacts of the elas...

ABSTRACT-This experiment was carried out to study particle size distribution (PSD) of carbonates in soils and its effect on some calcareous soil properties in Khuzestan Province, Iran. Soil samples (n=72) were collected from different regions. To evaluate the effect of carbonates on water contents at pressure head of -1500kpa and PSD of soil samples, these properties were determined before and ...
