In the present paper, the stiffening effect of carbon nanotubes is quantitatively investigated by micromechanics methods. The Mori-Tanaka effective-field method is employed to calculate the effective elastic moduli of composites with aligned or…
The transom stern offered some advantages over the traditional rounded cruiser stern reducing the resistance of a ship. This can only be achieved if the transom stern is carefully designed with suitable transom immersion ratio. In this study, the…
To initialize ship design process, it is very important to be able to develop an initial estimate of ship parameters to satisfy designer required specifications. For new emerging designs, this estimate has to be made based on a limited available set…
Thermal history along the length of a circular section subjected to flash-butt welding was analyzed by the finite difference method. A onedimensional nonlinear thermal numerical simulation using a computational model based on the finite difference…
New contra-rotating four-bladed DTMB propeller configurations operating in open water are numerically studied to determine their hydrodynamic performances. The unsteady turbulent flow around propellers is modelled by RANS equations with Kω SST model…
This work is focused on effect of inplane loading on sound generated by an airplane taking off from a floating runway. Assuming runway as a simple, infinitely long beam, modeled as a Timoshenko-Mindlin plate floating on water, an expression for sound…
When designing a floating airport we need to address the structural response both by ocean waves and dynamic loads such as the landing / take off of an airplane. Since such problems are not conducive to physical modeling and experimental validation…
The utilization of the existing breakwater constructions into wave energy conversion has been often adopted to rendering a revenue of the capital cost of investment. The paper has contributed to viable concept of a new integration design through more…
In modern days silicon is being extensively used in making electronic semiconductor-based chips and ICs. In this research, the change in different thermodynamic properties of silicon like lattice heat capacity, molar enthalpy and Debye temperature…
The fluid flow and heat transfer mechanism on steady state solutions obtained in circular and arc-square enclosures filled with water/Cu nanofluid as well as base fluid has been investigated numerically by Galerkin's weighted residual finite element…
