We present a continuous-flow active micromixer based on channel-wall deflection in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip for volume flows in the range up to 2 μL s−1 which is intended as a novel unit operation for the microfluidic Braille pin actuated p...
The paper considers the visco-elastic response of the ice cover in a channel under an external load moving with constant speed along the center line. The channel has a rectangular cross-section with a finite depth and width. The fluid in the channel...
The paper deals with buckling, postbuckling, and failure of pre-damaged channel section beam subjected to pure bending. The channel section beams made of eight-layered GFRP laminate with different symmetrical layups have been considered. The specimen...
The effect of wall deformations on wall turbulence is a topic of fundamental importance for the advancement of flow control strategies aimed at reducing the frictional drag. Dynamic wall deformations in the form of wall-normal of in-plane oscillation...
To clarify how flow-channel configuration and wall spacing govern the hydrodynamic performance of an oscillating-hydrofoil biomimetic pumping device, this study conducted a systematic numerical investigation under confined-flow conditions. Using a fi...
Micro-particle manipulation, based solely on the Dean drag force, has begun to be advocated for with the goal of lowering the pumping pressure and simplifying the complexity of the coupling effects of the inertial lift force and the Dean drag force,...
In this paper, new prefabricated cold-formed light-gauge steel stud wall panels sheathed with fireproof phenolic boards, which are fabricated by connecting the steel studs and the boards by using structural silicone sealant, was proposed. The propose...
Improving the efficiency of transport of coal water slurries (CWSs) and determining pipe wear both necessitate accurate predictions of flow characteristics in pipelines with complex geometries. At the bends of the channels, the flow is significantly...
Composite structures are increasingly being utilized in modern construction. This computational analysis focuses on the structural performance of composite beams formed by thin-walled, cold-formed steel channel sections strengthened with concrete. Th...
Piano key (PK) weirs are used in a variety of flow control structure applications, including spillway crests and open channel diversion structures. However, to the best of authors’ knowledge, structure-specific design guidance for scour mitigation is...
Fluid-structure interactions (FSI) are used in a variety of sensors based on micro- and nanotechnology to detect and measure changes in pressure, flow, and viscosity of fluids. These sensors typically consist of a flexible structure that deforms in r...
In this study, a novel prefabricated light-steel beam–column connection consisting of a thin-walled rectangular hollow section column and two cold-formed steel truss beams is proposed and investigated by carrying out experimental tests. Eight c...
The failure mode of thin-walled C-channel beams typically manifests as premature local buckling of the compression flange, leading to insufficient utilization of material strength in both the flange and the web. To address this issue, this study adop...
This study investigated short thin-walled channel columns made of carbon/epoxy laminate. Columns with two multi-ply composite layups [0/45/−45/90]s and [90/−45/45/0]s were tested, with each layup having eight plies symmetric to the midpla...
