Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a turbulent boundary layer performed by Wu & Moin (2010), and the resulting POD modes of various scales are examined. The modes include structures resembling those observed in instantaneous flow fields, such as large-scale motions of streamwise velocity with ramp-like wall-normal growth. Other modes cor...

“While our findings suggest that people who consume large amounts of whole grapefruit or orange juice may be at increased risk for melanoma, we need much more research before any concrete recommendations can be made,” said lead study author Shaowei Wu, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Dermatology, the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, Rhode ...

The paper proposes a method of strength analysis for materials thin-walled shell structures reinforced with stiffeners. shells under consideration were made orthotropic materials. authors analyze the applicability following seven criteria: maximum stress criterion, Mises-Hill Fisher Goldenblatt-Kopnov Liu-Huang-Stout Tsai-Wu and Hoffman criterion. During study, doubly-curved shallow square in p...

Flexural testing provides a rapid and straightforward assessment of fiber-reinforced composites’ performance. In many high-strength composites, flexural strength is higher than compressive strength. A finite-element model was developed to better understand this improvement in load-bearing capability predict the three different carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composite systems. The validated aga...

• An efficient and robust strength optimization method for novel composite laminates. A global Tsai-Wu oriented failure index is built to aggregate measurement. lamination-parameter-based approximation, ensuring smooth convergence, derived. Benchmark tests confirm the superiority of approach local-based one. computationally-efficient tailoring laminates using lamination parameters developed. Th...
