This study is an effort to encapsulate the fundamentals and major findings in the area of fluid-solid interaction, particularly the flow-induced vibrations (FIV).Periodic flow separation and vortex shedding stretching downstream induce dynamic fluid forces on the bluff body and results in oscillatory motion of the body.The motion is generally refer
This study aims to evaluate the effect of RCP from a precast concrete plant on rheological and mechanical properties of cementitious pastes.In the study, Portland cement was replaced by RCP in 10, 20, and 30% (in mass).The hydration kinects of teal horse blanket cement with RCP was studied through isothermal calorimetry.The fresh properties were as
This study compares the actual experimental and simulation data of artillery projectiles (M107 projectiles) fired by a 155-mm gun.The experimental data are collected using a weapon-locating radar developed here by LigNex1.The simulation is performed based on the measured projectile trajectories.Additionally, full-polarimetric scattering of the targ
BACKGROUND: Chikungunya synovex one grass virus (CHIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne alphavirus that has caused multiple unprecedented and re-emerging outbreaks in both tropical and temperate countries.Despite ongoing research efforts, the underlying factors involved in facilitating CHIKV replication during early infection remains ill-characterize
Flip-flops may change walking gait pattern, increase muscle activity and joint loading, and predispose wearers to foot problems, despite that quantitative evidence is scarce.The purpose of this study was to examine the lower limb muscle co-contraction and joint contact force in flip-flops gait, and compare with those of barefoot and sports shoes wa
