Numerical and experimental comparison of confinement effects on a Fully-Passive Oscillating-Foil Turbine
Download2022-06-01
Gunther, K., Mann, S., Dumas, G., Oshkai, P.
A numerical and experimental comparison of a fully-passive oscillating-foil turbine operating in different confinement levels is conducted to assert how well CFD-based FSI simulations can predict the performances of the turbine. It is found the present 3D URANS simulations match reasonably well...

Paris' Law Parameters Estimation for Fatigue Crack Prediction of An Aluminum Alloy Plate Under Cyclic Loading

Baral, Talaz, Afshari, Sajad Saraygord, Liang, Xihui
Fatigue-induced crack initiation and growth are common in cyclically loaded structures. Crack reduces the structures' strength and increases the risk of failure. Engineers have been using degradation models like Paris' law to relate crack length to the magnitude of the applied load to schedule...

Reproduction of anatomical structures by rapid prototyping has proven to be a valid adjunct for craniofacial surgery, providing alternative methods to produce prostheses and development of surgical guides. The aim of this study was to introduce a methodology to fabricate asymmetric human...

Atomistic measurement of the effect of interface tuning on the toughening and failure mechanisms of polypropylene nanocomposites toughened with nanofibrillated rubber
Download2022-06-01
Zeidi, Mahdi, Kim, Chun Il, Park, Chul B.
In the present study, we investigate the roles of interface and interfiber interactions on the toughening and failure mechanisms of nanofibrillated rubber-toughened thermoplastic-based nanocomposites. Emphasis is placed on establishing a comprehensive theoretical and atomistic descriptions of the...

Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced from the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste, moreover, emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. In...

Experimental and computational studies were carried out on the S-shaped diffusers to determine the impact of the change in curvature of a straight-wall diffuser. A straight diffuser became a curved diffuser at completely different angles as their similar upper and lower limbs (30°/30°, 45°/45°)....

Abstract—Tornados are a major hazard and ever-present threat in many regions, with the potential to cause wide-scale loss of life and damage to infrastructure. Many researchers have attempted to develop tornado simulation techniques that amount to vortex generation with the goal of understanding...
