By adopting the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, a novel and general nonlinear theoretical model, which can be applied to solve dynamics of combined straight-curved fluid-conveying pipes with arbitrary initially configurations any boundary conditions, is developed in current study. Based on this established behaviors cantilevered L-shaped pipe conveying fluid without base excitations are ...

Plasma cladding coupled induction heating was developed and successfully used to fabricate Ni60A coating on the surface of copper pipe. By matching swing arc with rotating pipe, efficiency as high 32.72 mm2/s. From head tail coating, wear resistance changed from 4.5 1.8 times that pure copper. During process constant current, temperature zone bath depth gradually increased. The corresponding di...

The Moving Pictures Show is a contemporary Australian ‘silent’ film company that screens films produced in the period from 1912 to 1929, with a 9-piece orchestral accompaniment. This article explores the ways in which music is chosen for the show both to heighten the audience’s aesthetic experience of the film and to abide by historical practice. It also describes the ways in which improvisatio...

In this paper, we propose a wide-viewing-angle three-dimensional integral imaging using a curved screen and a curved lens array. Elemental images are projected to the curved screen. Incorporation of the curved screen and the curved lens array instead of a conventional flat display panel and a flat lens array expands the viewing angle remarkably. In addition adopting barriers between a curved le...

This study investigates the characteristics of a turbulent boundary layer in curved circular pipe under an inflow Ma = 3.0. The consisted straight part and with turning angle 36° radius curvature, γ R/Rc, 0.0825. nanoparticle-based planar laser scattering technique was applied to visualize structure instantaneous flow field, large eddy simulation conducted uncover physical aspects development l...
