Consistency, precision, and accuracy assessment of the collocation boundary element method for two-dimensional problems of potential and elasticity
The collocation boundary element method, as developed and taught in the traditional books, suffers from severe inconsistencies, partly responsible...

A 6-ring embedded strain sensor
The proposed embedded strain sensor consists of six elastic rings, placed in an icosahedral symmetry, whose measured elongations give access to the...

Steady, Inviscid, and Adiabatic Multi-dimensional Compressible Flows
The one-dimensional theory provided in the preceding chapters considerably increased our understanding of gas dynamics. This concept was also...
-
Hydrodynamics of Swimming
This chapter presents the physical principles that allow fishes to propel themselves and analyzes why they move with high energy efficiency while...
-
Fluid Flow Representation
This chapter deals with the representation of fluid flows using stream function and velocity potential formulation. The potential function satisfies...

Can lift be generated in a steady inviscid flow?
This paper presents a critical evaluation of the physical aspects of lift generation to prove that no lift can be generated in a steady inviscid...

Introduction to Unsteady Aerodynamics
Fundamental fluid dynamics, which is founded on conservation principles related to mass, momentum and energy (first law of thermodynamics), as well...
-
Physical Concepts and Mathematical Tools
The description of the physical properties of the fluid in the macroscopic sense of the continuous medium is the subject of the first part of the...
-
Flow Classes
After introducing distinctive classes of fluid flows, the main properties of each of them are discussed in detail. The fundamental theorems of fluid...

Fatigue life analysis of a slightly curved hydraulic pipe based on Pairs theory
As key components of a hydraulic system, fatigue failure caused by unwanted vibrations is a common failure type for hydraulic pipes. As ideal...

4 Compositional Modelling of Distributed-Parameter Systems
The Hamiltonian formulation of distributed-parameter systems has been a challenging reserach area for quite some time. (A nice introduction,...

Convective Material Transport
In this chapter we study the material transport (in terms of mass or moles) of a dilute solute dissolved in a solvent. As we have seen in Sect....

Complete Set of Bounds for the Technical Moduli in 3D Anisotropic Elasticity
The paper addresses the problem of finding the necessary and sufficient conditions to be satisfied by the engineering moduli of an anisotropic...

Conservation Principles in Fluid Mechanics and Potential Flow Aerodynamics
The present chapter elaborates physical principles that govern theoretical, analytical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, based on...

Faster flicker of buoyant diffusion flames by weakly rotatory flows
AbstractFlickering buoyant diffusion methane flames in weakly rotatory flows were computationally and theoretically investigated. The prominent...
