The lateral boundary conditions, rotation rates parameters, domain size, cylinder diameter, and Reynolds number are all responsible for the variation of the Strouhal number. In this study, we have varied the domain size, lateral boundary conditions, downstream locations, and the cylinder diameter at specific values of Reynolds number for stationary...

In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of temperature gradient on simply supported symmetric sandwich beam. A Navier’s solution technique is used. The temperature profile is assumed to be linear across the thickness of a sandwich beam. A higher order beam theory (HBT) is used to include the effect of s...

Laminar flow, heat transfer and mass transfer of nanofluid in a porous medium have been studied using Buongiorno’s two phase model. The porous medium in place is a non-uniform octagonal shape. In order to increase the rate of heat transfer within the porous cavity, it has been equipped with a heated square at different vertical p...

Stability of stratified incompressible viscoelastic plasma arranged in horizontal strata with quantum pressure and dust particles saturated by a porous medium is investigated. The rheology of the plasma is described by the Walters (model B). The set of non-linear partial differential equations defining the physical system are reduced to linear ordi...

Vibration suppression has been thoroughly studied in the last few years. A number of methods has been proposed for this purpose. An evolving method lies in the search of band gap regions, that is, certain frequency ranges where vibrations are isolated. In the present investigation, a periodic unit cell of a chiral metamaterial has been created in o...

The aims of this work are to investigate and compare two different flow dynamics techniques (steady state - pulsatile flow) for endothelial shear stress calculation, compare lesion specific smartFFR and ESS values, as well as total vessel smartFFR and ESS values, and investigate the relationship between smartFFR and ESS to stress MBF (myocardial bl...

Kirchhoff plate bending and Winkler-type contact problems with different boundary conditions are solved with the use of physics-informed neural networks (PINN). The PINN is built on the base of mechanics laws and deep learning. The idea of the technique includes fitting the governing partial differential equations at collocation points and then tra...

Elastic strain is covered by the effective medium homogenization method inside a representative volume element (RVE). It has an incremental quasi rate-independent (QRI) form obtained by the endochronic concept of thermodynamic time. The rate dependence takes place by means of stress rate dependent value of the initial yield stress. Free meso rotati...

The purpose of this study is to create a universal computational model of a plane-stressed joint element, which could be implemented as a special finite element of the beam-column subassembly integrated into the FEA procedure to improve its accuracy. The combination both of the finite element method and the finite difference method has been accepte...

This article focuses on the design and manufacture of mechanical parts that have complicated shapes using the technique of reverse design using a scanner or an MMT for data acquisition in the form of a point cloud, using CAD software (CATIA). The digital model created is used for a virtual representation of the final product. Then we get the physic...
