This paper reports our work on numerical modeling of a micro synthetic jet in a boundary layer with flow separation caused by an adverse pressure gradient. The numerical model was developed using a commercial code with ...

In this paper we present the system design of a machine that we have constructed to study a quadrupedal gallop gait. The gallop gait is the preferred high-speed gait of most cursorial quadrupeds. To gallop, an animal must ...

Pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases lead to a number of side effects due to the their uncontrollable dispersion throughout the body.([1]) Therefore, many groups directed their research to ...

This study documents variation in engineering academics conceptions of sustainability. We investigated how a group of Australian engineering academics described environmental, social and economic sustainability, and ...

With the development of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials, linear motor driving systems made using the HTS materials become available for practical applications. The HTS linear motor technology, especially ...

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-tethered molecules on gold are important for various biorelevant applications ranging from biomaterials to bioanalytical devices, where surface resistance ...

In this paper, a tensile constitutive model for concrete subjected to fire is developed that are intended to provide efficient modeling and to specific fire-performance criteria of the behavior of concrete structures exposed ...

Polyelectrolyte films of anionic poly(sodium 4-styrenesulphonate) (PSS) and cationic poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) were constructed using layer-by-layer assembly. The authors examined the cytocompatibility of these ...

Surprisingly little research has been conducted on the strengthening of timber with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as opposed to the much more widely researched strengthening of concrete and to a lesser extent ...
