Multiscale computation for bioartificial soft tissues with complex geometries
(2009)
The mechanical function of soft collagenous tissues is inherently multiscale, with the tissue dimension being in the centimeter length scale and the underlying collagen network being in the micrometer length scale. This ...
Generating proper dynamic models for truck mobility and handling
(2004)
The effectiveness and utility of an energy-based model reduction algorithm for two different vehicle system modeling applications are discussed. The first case study focuses on the vehicle dynamics model of a military ...
Bond graph based modal representations and model reduction of lumped parameter systems
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Louca, L.S.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, Cyprusemail: lslouca@ucy.ac.cy, 2006)
Modal analysis is extensively used to study dynamic behavior of continuous and lumped parameter linear systems. More specifically, modal analysis can be used for the analysis and controller design of dynamic systems. In ...
Effects of selective water withdrawal schemes on thermal stratification in Kouris Dam in Cyprus
(2008)
Thermal stratification and its seasonal variations in Kouris Dam in Cyprus were simulated, and the impact of five different water withdrawal schemes was studied, using the 2-D, laterally averaged CE-QUAL-W2 reservoir model. ...
Assessing the accuracy of wall concentration estimation based on averaged permeate velocity in spacer-filled Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane systems
(2006)
The accuracy of estimations of wall concentration using the constant (averaged) permeate velocity method was assessed in both empty and spacer-filled reverse osmosis (RO) channels under various operation conditions, based ...
Modelling and reduction techniques for studies of integrated hybrid vehicle systems
(2006)
Models of integrated vehicle systems are essential for designing hybrid vehicles by means of simulation-based optimization. Given the complexity of hybrid vehicle systems, designing is a time consuming process that requires ...
Second-harmonic generation in a sound beam reflected and transmitted at a curved interface
(2000)
This article presents a model for second-harmonic generation in a sound beam that is reflected from or transmitted through a curved interface. Propagation in homogeneous fluids is assumed. Simple analytic solutions are ...
Direct simulation of the limiting flux: I. Interpretation of the experimental results
(2009)
Using a 2D fully coupled numerical model, the limiting flux phenomenon in the ultrafiltration of dextran was directly simulated assuming neither constant permeate velocity nor constant wall concentrations. It was found ...
Relations of crystal structure to magnetic properties in the quasi-one-dimensional compound PbNi1.88Mg0.12V 2O8
(2004)
The crystal structure of the quasi-one-dimensional oxide PbNi 1.88Mg0.12V2O8 has been studied by Rietveld analysis of combined high-resolution neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data at 300K and at low temperatures. The ...
