This report discusses the energy balance results observed during the simulation of the impact of an aluminum sphere on an aluminum plate supported by a hollow aluminum cylinder. Due to the high impact velocity, there is considerable ringing of the cylinder which causes the sum of the mechanical energies to increase. An optimal set of input parameters is identified that minimizes ringing and red...

Axisymmetric vibration of an infinite piezolaminated multilayer hollow cylinder made of piezoelectric layers of 6mm class and an isotropic LEMV Linear Elastic Materials with Voids layers is studied. The frequency equations are obtained for the traction free outer surface with continuity conditions at the interfaces. Numerical results are carried out for the inner, middle, and outer hollow piezo...

Static imaging of the electrical impedance tomography can obtain the absolute electrical conductivity distribution at one section of the subject. The test is performed on a cylinder physical phantom in which slim rectangle, hollow cylinder, small rectangle or three cylinders are selected to simulate complex conductivity perturbation objects. The measurement data is obtained by a data acquisitio...

We have developed a new direct construction method for core build-up starting with the hypothesis that an improvement in pullout strength and a decrease in the number of voids in the restorative material will become possible by filling a hollow fiber reinforced post with the restorative material from the bottom of the root canal. For the pullout test, the hollow post was fixed to the head of a ...

The analytical solution of functionally graded piezoelectric hollow cylinder which is under radial electric potential and non-axisymmetric thermo-mechanical loads, are presented in this paper. Using complex Fourier series and estimation of power law for variations of material characterizations through the thickness, the electro thermo mechanical behavior of the FGPM cylinder is obtained. The st...

Heterogeneous catalysis is vital for a number of chemical, refinery and pollution control processes. The use of catalyst pellets of hollow cylindrical shape provide several distinct advantages over other common shapes, and can therefore help to enhance conversion levels in reactors. A better utilization of the catalytic material is probably most notable of these features due to the absence of t...

A passive jet flow control method for suppressing unsteady vortex shedding from a circular cylinder via a numerical simulation is presented in this paper. The circular cylinder is wrapped in a hollow pipe. There are a set of the suction/jet holes on the windward side and leeward side of the outer surface of the pipe. The oncoming flow enters into the hollow pipe through the inlet holes and then...
