Macroscopic slip velocity, macroscopic temperature jump, thermal creep velocity and diffusion slip velocity for a mixture of monatomic gases are calculated by using a method developed recently (modified Maxwell-method) for a general gas-gas and gas-surface interaction law, and for a possibly anisotropic surface. The results are expressed in terms of accommodation coefficients of first and secon...

Unsteady slip-flow of second grade non-Newtonian electrically conducting fluid over an oscillating sheet has been considered and solved numerically. A second-order slip velocity model is used to predict the flow characteristic past the wall. With the assumption of infinite length in x-direction, velocity of the fluid can be assumed as a function of y and t, hence, with proper variable change pa...

Much research on two-wheeled robots has been completed in the past decade, but robot stability in low-traction environments has not yet been considered. A model for the two-wheeled robot including wheel slip effects is derived. A wheel slip dependent friction model is used to simulate two low-traction surfaces: the first has characteristics similar to ice and the second is frictionless, in addi...

The objective of this paper was to explore the bond-slip relationship between carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and concrete under cyclic loading through experimental and analytical approaches. Modified beam tests were performed in order to gain insight into the bond-slip relationship under static and cyclic loading. The test variables are the CFRP-to-concrete width ratio, and the b...

The effect of wall velocity slip on the stability of a pressure-driven two-dimensional asymmetric channel flow is examined by considering Navier slip condition on the channel walls. The two-parameter families of mean velocity profiles are considered to approximate the underlying asymmetric basic flow. Competing effects of skewness and maximum velocity on the stability of the flow are explored f...

Identifying potential risk factors that affect slip-induced falls is key to developing effective interventions for reduction of injuries caused by these accidents. Existing epidemiological evidence suggests that localized muscle fatigue might be considered as an intrinsic risk factor that causes lack of balance control leading to falls. The literature on the relationship between localized muscu...

The interplay between superconductivity (SC) and ferromagnetism (FM) when embedded together has attracted unprecedented research interest due to very rare coexistence of these two phenomena. The focus has been mainly put into the proximity induced effects like, coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity, higher critical current, triplet superconductivity etc. However, very little attention ...

We use the 1952 Kamchatka earthquake (Mw 8.8-9.0) and tsunami to explore the effect that internal slip distribution within a rupture has on tsunami amplitude in the nearfield. Our approach is to compare simulated tsunamis from 1952 Kamchatka with deposits in order to identify areas of high slip. Spatial variations in slip during tsunamigenic earthquakes result in variation in tsunami amplitude ...

In this paper, the synergistic effects of stress rupture and cyclic loading on the strain response of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) at elevated temperature in air have been investigated. The stress-strain relationships considering interface wear and interface oxidation in the interface debonded region under stress rupture and cyclic loading have been developed to establish t...

Rarefied gas slip microflow and heat transfer in rectangular microchannels and backward facing steps are numerically investigated. A control-volume based numerical method is used to solve the Navier–Stokes and energy equations with velocity-slip and temperature-jump conditions at the walls. The effects of Knudsen number (Kn ! 0.1), thermal creep, and viscous heating on the velocity and temperat...
