On the New Shear Constraint for Plane-Stress Orthotropic Plasticity Modeling of Sheet Metals
A shear constraint was very recently proposed by Abedini et al. (Int. J. Solids and Structures 151: 118–134 2018) to evaluate and calibrate advanced non-quadratic anisotropic yield criteria and to eliminate what ...

Using digital holographic microscopy for simultaneous measurements of 3D near wall velocity and wall shear stress in a turbulent boundary layer
A digital holographic microscope is used to simultaneously measure the instantaneous 3D flow structure in the inner part of a turbulent boundary layer over a smooth wall, and the spatial distribution of wall s...

Dynamics of hairpin vortices generated by a mixing tab in a channel flow
To better understand mixing by hairpin vortices, time-series particle image velocimetry (PIV) was applied to the wake of a trapezoidal-shaped passive mixing tab mounted at the bottom of a square turbulent cha...

A genetic algorithm particle pairing technique for 3D velocity field extraction in holographic particle image velocimetry
This research explores a novel technique, using Genetic Algorithm Particle Pairing (GAPP) to extract three-dimensional (3D) velocity fields of complex flows. It is motivated by Holographic Particle Image Velo...

Uniaxial tensile response of microfibre reinforced cement composites
Microfibre reinforced cement composites reinforced with high volume fractions of carbon, steel and polypropylene fibres were tested in uniaxial tension. Composites investigated included those with only one typ...
