A 3D fibre beam-column element with shear modelling for the inelastic analysis of steel structures
(2010)A force-based fiber beam-column element is proposed for the capacity assessment of frame structures under high shear. The proposed element is suitable for the performance assessment of large scale steel structures, which ... -
3D stability analysis of Rayleigh-Benard convection of a liquid metal layer in the presence of a magnetic field-effect of wall electrical conductivity
(2014)Rayleigh-Benard stability of a liquid metal layer of rectangular cross section is examined in the presence of a strong magnetic field that is aligned with the horizontal direction of the cross section. The latter is much ... -
The adhesive contact of a flat punch on a hyperelastic substrate subject to a pull-out force or a bending moment
(2011)In the last decade; instrumented macro- and nano-indentation tests have become useful tools for probing mechanical properties of materials. In this context, little in-depth work has been done for soft bio-materials like ... -
Air-water two-phase flow and heat transfer in a plate heat exchanger
(2002)A plate heat exchanger is tested under two-phase flow conditions by using an air/water mixture as the cold stream. Visual observations recorded by a high-speed video camera lead to the construction of a flow regime map. ... -
Analysis and optimization of dynamically loaded porous metal sliding bearings under conditions of elastohydrodynamic lubrication
(2007)Purpose - This paper aims to develop a simulating model of a journal porous metal bearing under elastohydrodynamic conditions and combined (radial, friction and thermal) load distribution and to carry out structural ... -
Analysis of Knoop indentation
(2011)Knoop indentation tests have long been a standard method for material characterization due to the fact that they provide an easy inexpensive non destructive and objective method of evaluating basic properties from small ... -
Analysis of Knoop indentation of cohesive frictional materials
(2013)During the last decades, pyramid micro and nano-indentation tests such as Vickers, Berkovich and Knoop have been used on cohesive-frictional (pressure sensitive) materials, such as hard metals, glasses and ceramics, and ... -
Analysis of Knoop indentation strain hardening effects
(2011)Knoop indentation tests are a standard method for material characterization due to the fact that they provide an easy, inexpensive non-destructive and objective method of evaluating basic properties from small volumes of ... -
Analytical and numerical study of MHD natural convection in a horizontal shallow cavity with heat generation
(2014)A study is presented of two-dimensional MHD natural convection flow in an internally heated horizontal shallow cavity in the presence of an external uniform vertical magnetic field. The main feature of the present flow is ... -
Analytical treatment of in-plane parametrically excited undamped vibrations of simply supported parabolic arches
(2003)The present work offers a simple and efficient analytical treatment of the in-plane un-damped vibrations of simply supported parabolic arches under parametric excitation. After thoroughly dealing with the free vibration ... -
Antiplane deformation of a partially bonded elliptical inclusion
(1997)A new method that introduces two holomorphic potential functions (the two-phase potentials) is applied to analyze the antiplane deformation of an elliptical inhomogeneity partially-bonded to an infinite matrix. Elastic ... -
An Assessment of Airport Environmental Noise Action Plans with Some Financial Aspects: The Case of Athens International "Eleftherios Venizelos"
(2012)Environmental noise is an important environmental factor responsible for the degradation of the urban environment and the quality of life especially in countries where climatic conditions allow for outdoor activities and ... -
Bayesian uncertainty quantification and propagation for discrete element simulations of granular materials
(2014)Predictions in the behavior of granular materials using Discrete Element Methods (DEM) hinge on the employed interaction potentials. Here we introduce a data driven, Bayesian framework to quantify DEM predictions. Our ... -
Bending instabilities of elastic tubes
(2002)The present paper examines instabilities of long thin elastic tubes. Both initially straight and initially bent tubes are analyzed under in-plane bending. Tube response, a combination of ovalization instability and bifurcation ... -
Bound-state formation in interfacial turbulence: direct numerical simulations and theory
(2013)We examine pulse interaction and bound-state formation in interfacial turbulence using the problem of a falling liquid film as a model system. We perform direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of the full Navier-Stokes equations ... -
Boundary-driven nonequilibrium gas flow in a grooved channel via kinetic theory
(2007)The nonequilibrium flow of a gas in a two-dimensional grooved channel, due to the motion of the wall of the channel, is investigated based on kinetic theory. The presence of the rectangular grooves that are placed periodically ... -
