Braiding is a manufacturing technique in which material yarns are repeatedly interlaced to create a preform. The preform is impregnated with a polymer matrix to create a braided composite. Several studies have investigated the tensile, compressive and torsional behaviour of braided composites and...

Reducing the overall mine-water consumption is a necessity in moving toward a more sustainable mining industry in Canada. Water treatment is a key requirement to achieve this goal. This study numerically investigates the dynamics of a decantation process as a technique to recycle and reuse...

In this paper, an interface crack between piezoelectric and orthotropic half-spaces has been studied in detail. By using integral transformation techniques, the present mixed boundary value problem was reduced to the solution of singular integral equations, which can be further reduced to solving...

The interaction between a capsule (bubble or droplet) and a flow structure of the continuous phase can affect the properties of the liquids, cells, and particles transferring within the capsule. Channel geometry is a common example of the flow structure influencer. Investigating the effect of...

The forward and inverse displacement problems (FDP, IDP) are solved for a 4-DOF hybrid cable-driven parallel manipulator. This manipulator uses three cables and one extensible rod to manipulate the mobile platform, and shares some kinematic similarities to the well-studied Stewart-Gough...

This study investigates the pitching motion of an elastic filament flapping in a uniform laminar flow. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) as the fluid solver and the Lattice Spring Model (LSM) as the solid structure solver are employed to solve filament motion in the flow. The LBM and LSM are...

An increased interest in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) has been seen recently due to their ability to be placed closer together. Although individual vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have lower efficiency than horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), they may have a significant advantage...
