Synthesis and characterization of pyrochlore-type yttrium titanate nanoparticles by modified sol–gel method
Pyrochlore-type yttrium titanate (Y2Ti2O7) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a simple soft-chemistry technique viz. citric acid sol–gel method (CAM). The preparation process was monitored by X-ray di...

Numerical Study on the Hemodynamic Performance of a Streamlined Endovascular Stent
The wires with square or semi-circular cross-sections were always used to make the traditional commercial stents which lead to flow disturbance. The initiation and progression of restenosis was proved to have ...

An Improved Approach for Computing the Green Functions of the Helmholtz Equation in the 2D Impedance Half Space
The boundary element method (BEM) is an important numerical tool in outdoor acoustics. It can be used, for example, to compute the acoustic fields near noise barriers. In BEM simulations of such problems, the ...

A New Generalized Four-Parameter Corresponding-States Method for Predicting Volumetric Behavior of Working Fluids
A new four-parameter corresponding-states method is presented to correlate the generalized volumetric behavior of polar and nonpolar working fluids. It is different from other corresponding-states methods in t...

A Symmetric Coupled Fe-Be Method for Vibrating Structures Interacting with an Acoustic Fluid
In order to take the interactions between the vibrations of an elastic structure and the sound field in the surrounding fluid into account, a standard finite element formulation for the dynamic behavior of ela...

Contamination of rural and urban soils in Taiwan
Taiwan is located in the subtropical and tropical regions with high precipitation (>2500mmyr−1) and high temperature (>22°C). The total area for rice and upland crop production is 8800 km2 which is about 25% of t...

Coupling of FE- and BE-Discretizations for 3D-Stress Analysis of Tunnels in Layered Anisotropic Rock
After introducing the method developed for the coupling of finite element (FE) and boundary element (BE) discretizations of subregions of solids, comments on the inadmissibility of symmetrizing the resulting c...

On a Combined Stability and Contact Problem Concerning Multi-Lamellae Compression Flanges of I-Beams
Loss of stability of multi-lamellae compression flanges of steel I-beams is characterized by joint buckling of the lamellae. This fact is ignored in engineering practice. Instead of it, the assumption of indep...
