3-D flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids
(ASME, 1998)The flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids through a sudden 3-D square with expansion height ratio of 2:1 is studied numerically by solving the mass and momentum conservation equations along with a continuous constitutive relation. ...

Active earth thrust on walls supporting granular soils: Effect of wall movement
(IOS Press, 2013)The methods currently used in the design practice of retaining walls supporting granular soils (sand, gravel, silt, and their mixtures) assume that the soil friction angle and, consequently, the active earth pressure ...

Alignment of electrospun polymer fibers using a concave collector
(2015)During recent years, electrospinning has become a powerful technique for the cost-effective production of fibrous materials with diameters ranging from a few nanometers up to a few micrometers. In a conventional electrospinning ...

Application of the p-version of the finite element method to elastoplasticity with localization of deformation
(1999)In this paper we discuss the use of the p-version of the finite element method applied to elastoplastic problems that exhibit sharp (but continuous) deformation gradients. The deformation theory of deviatoric, linearly ...

Bearing capacity in sand under eccentric and inclined loading using a bounding surface plasticity model
(2017)The bearing capacity of strip footings on sand under inclined or eccentric loading is investigated using finite element analysis. The sand behavior is simulated using a bounding surface plasticity constitutive model based ...

A C1-conforming hp finite element method for fourth order singularly perturbed boundary value problems
(2016)We consider a fourth order singularly perturbed boundary value problem (BVP) in one-dimension and the approximation of its solution by the hp version of the Finite Element Method (FEM). The given problem's boundary conditions ...

Cessation of annular Poiseuille flows of Bingham plastics
(2007)We numerically solve the cessation of the annular Poiseuille flow of Bingham plastics for various values of the diameter ratio, using the regularized constitutive equation proposed by Papanastasiou and employing finite ...

Cessation of Couette and Poiseuille flows of a Bingham plastic and finite stopping times
(2005)We solve the one-dimensional cessation Couette and Poiseuille flows of a Bingham plastic using the regularized constitutive equation proposed by Papanastasiou and employing finite elements in space and a fully implicit ...

Comparison of spectral and finite element methods applied to the study of the core-annular flow in an undulating tube
(2002)A Galerkin/finite element and a pseudo-spectral method, in conjunction with the primitive (velocity-pressure) and streamfunction-vorticity formulations, are tested for solving the two-phase flow in a tube, which has a ...

Comparison of two methods for the computation of singular solutions in elliptic problems
(1997)We compare two numerical methods for the solution of elliptic problems with boundary singularities. The first is the integrated singular basis function method (ISBFM), a finite-element method in which the solution is ...

Compressible viscous flow in slits with slip at the wall
(1994)We study the time-dependent compressible flow of a Newtonian fluid in slits using an arbitrary nonlinear slip law relating the shear stress to the velocity at the wall. This slip law exhibits a maximum and a minimum and ...

Compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions: Flow and fiber orientation
(Publ by ASME, 1993)The focus of this paper is compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions. During compression molding a premeasured amount of raw material (charge) is placed between two halves of a die. The die is then closed ...

Compression molding using a generalized eulerian–lagrangian formulation with automatic remeshing
(1992)A generalized Eulerian‐Lagrangian approach is used to study the compression molding of viscoelastic polymers. The complete, unsteady, two‐dimensional equations of motion are used in the analysis. The White–Metzner model ...

Control of quantized multi-agent systems with linear nearest neighbor rules: A finite field approach
(2010)We study the problem of controlling a multi-agent system where each agent is only allowed to be in a discrete and finite set of states. Each agent is capable of updating its state based on the states of its neighbors, and ...

Converged solutions of the Newtonian extrudate-swell problem
(1999)Both the axisymmetric and the planar Newtonian extrudate-swell problems are solved using the standard and the singular finite element methods. In the latter method, special elements that incorporate the radial form of the ...

Convergence analysis of an hp finite element method for singularly perturbed transmission problems in smooth domains
(2013)We consider a two-dimensional singularly perturbed transmission problem with two different diffusion coefficients, in a domain with smooth (analytic) boundary. The solution will contain boundary layers only in the part of ...

Development lengths in Newtonian Poiseuille flows with wall slip
(2016)The effect of wall slip on the development of planar and axisymmetric Newtonian Poiseuille flows is studied by means of finite element simulations. The Navier slip law is employed. i.e., it is assumed that the slip velocity ...

Development of confined viscoplastic flows with heterogeneous wall slip
(National Technical University of Athens, 2016)The steady, pressure-driven flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid in a channel is considered assuming that slip occurs on one wall only due to slip heterogeneities. Hence, the velocity profile is allowed to be asymmetric. The ...

Effects of periodic gravity modulation in microgravity convection systems
(Publ by ASME, 1993)Natural convection in an enclosure that is subjected to periodic excitations is investigated using a classical mixed Galerkin finite element method. The modulation is incorporated in the momentum equations, through a ...

Empirical Bayes approach to block wavelet function estimation
(2002)Wavelet methods have demonstrated considerable success in function estimation through term-by-term thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients. However, it has been shown that grouping the empirical wavelet coefficients ...
