Abstract

The usefulness of using the speckle photography technique in fracture mechanics to check numerical calculations is demonstrated for an internally pressurized cylinder [...]

Abstract

Measurements of pressure and flow in a number of pumped plastic sewer mains have been carried out in order to compare the actual observed transients with computations. Primarily the situation following pump run-down has been studied. The investigation covered pipelines with steadily [...]

Abstract

In the present paper a method of analytical determination of reactions and angles of pressure is considered with the four-bar linkage as an example. The determined sequence for the expression of acceleration of the points and angle acceleration of the links is presented. Further the [...]

Abstract

In modeling and numerically implementing a follower pressure in a geometrically nonlinear setting, one needs to compute the volume enclosed by a surface [...]

Abstract

The microscopic stress field provides a unique connection between atomistic simulations and mechanics at the nanoscale. However, its definition remains [...]

Abstract

Workability of concrete varies during pumping. Even though concrete satisfies the required workability before pumping, it often does not satisfy the required standard after pumping. Moreover, serious problem could happen such as segregation and blockage. In this study, the rheological [...]
