The evolution of linearized perturbations in a magnetohydrodynamic shear flow is studied using the initial value problem approach. Here the resulting equation in time posed by using the Fourier transform is solved for the Fourier amplitudes for modeled boundary layer for different initial disturbances. The shear flow prototype here is a piecewise linear approximation of a magnetohydrodynamic boundary...
A fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian power law fluid flowing over a non-linear stretching surface in the presence of a transverse magnetic field taking into consideration viscous dissipation effects is investigated. The stretching velocity, the temperature and the transverse magnetic field are assumed to vary in a power-law with the distance from the...
Three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out with the ABAQUS/explicit finite element code to study the influence of target boundary conditions on its ballistic limit. 1mm thick 1100-H12 aluminum target of 255 mm span diameter was hit by 19 mm diameter and 50.8 mm length blunt nosed projectile. The mass of the projectile was kept as 52.5 gm. The boundary condition effects on the ballistic...
A numerical technique is employed to derive a solution to the transient natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an impulsively started infinite isothermal vertical plate with uniform mass diffusion in the presence of a magnetic field and homogeneous chemical reaction of first order. The governing equations are solved using implicit finite-difference method. The effects of velocity,...
In the paper a hypothesis about state equations of human gait is presented. Instantaneous normalized power developed by human muscles at particular joints of a leg is a control vector in state equations of the human walking system. The maximum principle of Pontryagin in analysis of dynamic human knee joint was presented. The discrete Hamilton function of a knee joint is similar to a discrete square...
The thermal diffusion and viscous dissipation effects on an unsteady MHD free convection heat and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium of time dependent permeability under oscillatory suction velocity in the presence of a heat absorbing sink have been studied. It is considered that the influence of...
Rayleigh waves in a half-space exhibiting microplar transversely isotropic generalized thermoelastic properties based on the Lord-Shulman (L-S), Green and Lindsay (G-L) and Coupled thermoelasticty (C-T) theories are discussed. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient in the previous three different theories have been obtained. A comparison is carried out of the phase velocity, attenuation coefficient...
The present paper deals with the experimental studies carried out on free vibration of isotropic and laminated composite skew plates. The natural frequencies were also determined using QUAD8 finite element of MSC/NASTRAN and a comparison was made between the experimental values and the finite element solution. The effects of the skew angle and aspect ratio on the natural frequencies of isotropic skew...
An exact solution of an unsteady flow past a parabolic starting motion of an infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion, in the presence of a homogeneous chemical reaction of first order has been studied. The plate temperature as well as concentration level near the plate are raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform...
The eigen value approach, following the Laplace and Hankel transformation has been employed to find a general solution of the field equations in a generalized thermo microstretch elastic medium for an axisymmetric problem. An infinite space with the mechanical source has been applied to illustrate the utility of the approach. The integral transformations have been inverted by using a numerical inversion...
In the paper, a new version of the Matlab toolbox for modeling and simulation of any mechanisms consisting of open kinematic chains is presented. This tool renders it possible to define any manipulator described by Denavit-Hartenberg parameters and then connect the mechanisms created in this way into one complex mechanism. The package can be used for a realistic visualization of robot motion necessary...
A nonperturbative approximate analytic solution is derived for the time fractional Fokker-Planck (F-P) equation by using Adomian’s Decomposition Method (ADM). The solution is expressed in terms of Mittag-Leffler function. The present method performs extremely well in terms of accuracy, efficiency and simplicity.
In the present study, the temperature fluctuations in tissues based on Penne’s bio-heat transfer equation is investigated by applying the Laplace and Hankel transforms. To get the solution in a physical form, a numerical inversion technique has been applied. The temporal and spatial distribution of temperature is investigated with the effect of relaxation time and is presented graphically.
The present paper is devoted to the study of phase velocity and attenuation of longitudinal shear vibrations of hollow poroelastic circular cylinders in the presence of dissipation. The explicit expressions for phase velocity and attenuation of longitudinal shear vibrations are derived. The frequency equation of longitudinal shear vibrations and modes obtained in a previous paper are used to compute...
Soret driven ferrothermoconvective instability in multi-component fluids has a wide range of applications in heat and mass transfer. This paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the effect of temperature dependent viscosity on a Soret driven ferrothermohaline convection heated from below and salted from above subjected to a transverse uniform magnetic field in the presence of a porous medium...
