The dependence of velocity slip at a liquid-solid interface upon the character of the solid is studied using atomistic simulation methods for Lennard-Jones model systems. The effect of the thermostatting mechanisms, often used in such simulations, is also investigated. The solid atom vibrational frequency is shown not to have a significant effect on the slip length for the range of parameters i...

An analysis is carried out to study the mixed convection partial slip flow of a Casson fluid over a vertically stretching sheet with convective boundary condition. In particular, we investigate the effects of different parameters such as magnetic, mixed convection, Casson, convective, slip, Prandtl number in the presence of joule heating. The governing partial differential equations are transfo...

Abstract – This paper suggests the techniques in determining the values of the steady-state equivalent circuit parameters of a three-phase induction machine using genetic algorithm. The parameter estimation procedure is based on the steady-state phase current versus slip and input power versus slip characteristics. The propose estimation algorithm is of non-linear kind based on selection in gen...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy can be used in a wide range of cell biological applications, and is particularly well suited to analysis of the localization and dynamics of molecules and events near the plasma membrane. The TIRF excitation field decreases exponentially with distance from the cover slip on which cells are grown. This means that fluorophores close to the ...

In this study, a limit equilibrium method has been developed that satisfies all conditions of equilibrium and assumes circular slip surfaces. All force and moment equilibrium equations are employed without using simplification assumptions. A non-linear optimization technique is used to solve the system of equations with the corresponding constraints. The proposed method is capable to determine ...

[1] The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip accelerates dilatancy reduces pore pressure p quenching instability. Competition between dilatant strengthening and thermal pressurization may control whether slip is slow or fast. We model SSE with 2‐D elasticity, ra...

Additive Factors Model (AFM) and Performance Factors Analysis (PFA) are two popular models of student learning that employ logistic regression to estimate parameters and predict performance. This is in contrast to Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) which uses a Hidden Markov Model formalism. While all three models tend to make similar predictions, they differ in their parameterization of student ...

S U M M A R Y In general, seismic slip along faults reduces the average shear stress within earthquake source regions, but stress drops of specific earthquakes are observed to vary widely in size. To advance our understanding of variations in stress drop, we analysed source parameters of smallmagnitude events in the greater San Gorgonio area, southern California. In San Gorgonio, the regional t...

This paper investigates slip-based traction control of a planetary rover that travels over natural rough terrain. Special attention is made on tire-soil traction mechanics and articulated body dynamics. Experiments are carried out with a rover test bed to understand the physical behavior of tire-soil interaction and, thereby, a traction model is investigated using the tire slip ratio as a state...

We study experimentally how two key geometric parameters (pitch and gas fraction) of textured hydrophobic surfaces affect liquid slip. The two are independently controlled on precisely fabricated microstructures of posts and grates, and the slip length of water on each sample is measured using a rheometer system. The slip length increases linearly with the pitch but dramatically with the gas fr...
