this paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. the cogley- vincenti-gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. the governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...

this study deals with the applications of a trigonometric shear deformation theory considering the effect of the transverse shear deformation on the static flexural analysis of the soft core sandwich beams. the theory gives realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness, and satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the bea...

This paper focuses on a hydraulic radius separation approach used to calculate the boundary shear stress in terms of bed and wall shear stress proposed in a trapezoidal channel. The average bed and sidewall shear stress in smooth trapezoidal open channels are derived after using Guo & Julien (2005) early equations taking a part of an investigation to cover both rectangular and trapezoidal chann...

This study investigated bending, buckling, and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable functionally graded (FG) higher order beams. The material properties of FG beams are varied through thickness according to power law distribution; here, the FG beam was made of aluminium/alumina, and the hyperbolic shear deformation theory was used to evaluate the effect of shear deformation i...

Waters flowing in natural streams and rivers have the ability to scour and to deposit materials, hence to change the bed topography. It is recognized that undular flows have great potential for sediment transport. In the present study, a fixed-bed model was used to investigate the spatial variations of boundary shear stress under standing waves (i.e., undular flow). The results (Figure 8) highl...

In this work, the least squares weighted residual method is used to solve the two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problem of a rectangular plate of in-plane dimensions 2a 2b subjected to parabolic edge tensile loads applied at the two edges x = a. The problem is expressed using Beltrami–Michell stress formulation. Airy’s stress function method is applied to the stress compatibility equation, and th...

the effects of physical, thermal and mechanical parameters on curing microthermal residual stresses are studied, based on the energy method, to present a theoretical solution for prediction of residual stress felds. a fnite element analysis is developed to compare the theoretical and numerical results together. there is found to be a good agreement between the results of the two methods. howeve...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Attempts have been made to associate intracranial aneurysmal hemodynamics with aneurysm growth and rupture status. Hemodynamics in aneurysms is traditionally determined with computational fluid dynamics by using generalized inflow boundary conditions in a parent artery. Recently, patient-specific inflow boundary conditions are being implemented more frequently. Our purpos...
