Gradient elasticity theory for fiber composites with fibers resistant to extension and flexure
Download2018-07-03
A model for the mechanics of an elastic solid, reinforced with bidirectional fibers is presented in finite plane elastostatics. The fiber’s resistance to stretch and flexure are accounted for with variational computations of first and second gradient of deformations, respectively. Within the...

We report upon a theoretical and experimental investigation of a porous medium ‘filling box’ flow by specifically examining the details of the laminar descending plume and its outflow in a control volume having an impermeable bottom boundary and sidewalls. The plume outflow initially comprises a...

Finite plane deformations of elastic solids reinforced with fibers resistant to flexure: complete solution
Download2018-01-12
A model for the deformation of an elastic solid reinforced by embedded fibers is presented in which elastic resistance of the fibers to bending is incorporated. Within the framework of strain-gradient elasticity, we formulated the equilibrium equations and necessary boundary conditions which...

The Effects of Intra-membrane Viscosity on Lipid Membrane Morphology: Complete Analytical Solution
Download2018-12-15
We present a linear theory of lipid membranes which accommodates the effects of intra-membrane viscosity into the model of deformations. Within the Monge parameterization, a linearized version of the shape equation describing membrane morphology is derived. Admissible boundary conditions are...

We report upon experimental and analytical investigations of filling box flows in non-uniform porous media characterized by a sudden change in permeability. The porous medium consists of two layers separated by a horizontal permeability jump and is initially filled with light ambient fluid. A...

We present an analytical solution for buoyancy-driven “filling box” flows in axisymmetric porous media having closed bottom and side boundaries. The flow consists first and foremost of a descending, point source plume. When plume fluid reaches the (horizontal) bottom boundary, it begins to flow...

Computational Analysis of Gas Transport in Fuel Cell Catalyst Layer under Dry and Partially Saturated Conditions
Download2019-01-01
Sabharwal, M., Pant, L. M., Patel, N., Secanell, Marc
A computational study is performed to analyze oxygen transport in dry and wet stochastically reconstructed catalyst layers (CLs). CL stochastic reconstructions are generated using random penetrating spheres of a given particle size that agree with the statistical correlation functions of a...
