In this paper, we have studied numerically thermo-convective characteristics between a heat transfer fluid (HTF) and phase change material (PCM) in shell and tube thermal energy storage (TES) unit. The paraffin wax is considered as a PCM, filled in a shel... see more

A critical analysis of the scientific literature shows that, contrary to helical and other springs widely used in practice, slotted cylinder springs have been insufficiently documented to date. Currently, given the under exploited potential of their parti... see more

Primary aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanical behavior of an O-ring seal made of NBR rubber material using finite element method. Further aim is to identify the O-ring’s critical locations where it can fail under normal operating conditions. ... see more

The realistic estimation of the ply stiffness parameters of polymer composite laminates is a big challenge nowadays in industrial practice. In this paper a new, innovative concept is introduced that is based on the backward use of Classical Laminate Theor... see more

The predictive abilities of several mathematical models of the cold, flat rolling process are tested by comparing their predictions to experimental measurements. The models include an empirical model, a one-dimensional model, a finite element model and an... see more

In orthopedic surgery and particularly in total hip arthroplasty, fixation of femoral implant is generally made by the surgical cement. Bone–cement interface has long been implicated in failure of cemented total hip replacement (THA), it is actually a cri... see more
