An analytical expression for the characteristic recovery time of an erythrocyte subject to an extensional deformation is derived using a previous nonlinear Kelvin-Voigt model. The recovery time thus obtained depends on the initial deformation in agreement with experimental observations, as a result of the nonlinearity of the model. The validity of the analytical results is confirmed using previous experimental data.

Abstract An analytical expression connecting fatigue lives with applied stresses, and methods for computing the values of its parameters from experimental data are given. Formulas for estimating the uncertainty of computed parameter values, caused by scatter of loads and fatigue lives, for optimum distribution of specimens, and for optimum choice of stress levels, are deduced. Testing time and costs may be reduced by more than 40 per cent by using the formulas.

The main objective of this paper is to characterize the flow field on the front face of an oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) under a regular wave. For this purpose, the longitudinal and vertical velocity components were measured using an Ultrasonic Velocity Profiler (UVP). In order to explain the main trends of the OWSC’s dynamics, the experimental data were firstly compared with the analytical results of potential theory. A large discrepancy was observed between experimental and analytical results, caused by the nonlinear behavior of wave-OWSC interaction that determine the turbulent field and the boundary layer. The experimental velocity field shows a strong ascendant flow generated by the mass transfer over the flap (overtopping) and flow rotation generated by the beginning of the flap deceleration and acceleration. These features (overtopping and flow rotation) have an important role on the power capture of OWSC and, therefore, analytical results are not accurate to describe the complex hydrodynamics of OWSC.

Numerical calculations are performed to investigate the effect of viscous dissipation on the temperature rise and friction numbers for laminar water flows in micro-tubes. The calculated values are compared with those determined from reported experimental data for glass and diffused silica micro-tubes (D = 16 – 101 μm and L/D = 625 – 1479). The results confirm a definite slip at the wall with slip lengths of ∼ 0.7 μm and 1.0 μm, which decrease the friction number and the temperature rise in the micro-tubes, but their effect gradually diminishes as either D or L/D increases. The friction number decreases exponentially as D decreases and, to a lesser extent, as L/D increases. The effect of L/D on the friction number is insignificant for micro-tube diameters ≤ 20 μm. For D > 400 μm, the friction number approaches that of Hagen-Posieuille of 64 for macro-tubes when L/D > 1500, but approaches higher values at smaller L/D. The dimensionless analytical expression developed for calculating the friction number and the temperature rise for water flows in micro-tubes is in good agreement with both the numerical and experimental results.

A new analytical expression is proposed for the prediction of the buckle propagation pressure for deepwater offshore pipelines. The expression accounts for the influences of the main factors involved, including the effects of material and geometrical nonlinearities. Predictions of the proposed expression are shown to be in good agreement with available experimental data, and valuable information is developed that can guide applications of the expression in design practice. In addition, a discussion is presented which outlines the derivation of the proposed expression.

Summary Drill-conductor-jetting technology is a high-efficiency, good-adaptability, and low-cost technology that has been widely applied in deepwater drilling. However, a reaming effect will be produced easily because of jet breaking and bit rotation during the jetting process, and the critical displacement would be notably affected. Also, it will experience a relatively short soaking time after installation because of the requirements of drilling timeliness, which is an important factor on the bearing safety of a conductor. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the influencing factors of construction conditions and establish a model for evaluating the value of critical displacement. In this study, field experiments on critical displacement for simulating the deepwater-drilling conditions were conducted. By analyzing the drilling hydraulic factors, the effects of soil-stress-recovery time, and the injection rate of pipe, the influence laws of different factors were obtained. The results suggest that the critical displacement increases linearly as the circulation rate of the drilling fluid increases, decreases exponentially with the increase of soil-stress-recovery time, and decreases linearly with the increase of injection rate. One model for estimating the critical displacement using experimental data and the least-squares method was proposed. The predictions showed good agreement with experimental data within suitable ranges of models. This work is expected to provide the basis for predicting conductor stability and wellhead-bearing settlement.

The previous theoretical predictions of the compaction of a copper powder medium, based on the assumption that the punch and plug were both a rigid body, did not satisfactorily agree with the experimental results obtained for short initial powder lengths and long plug lengths. This type of compaction amounts to cases when the plug length exceeds the second critical length which will be described below. Shock waves in a powder medium and elastic waves in the elastic punch and plug, schematically shown in space coordinate-time diagrams, suggest that the elastic wave in the plug is the probable cause of the inconsistency between the theoretical and experimental data of the previous investigation. In fact, the diagrams indicate that the shock wave transmitted in the medium across the medium-plug interface exerts an effect on the compaction process when the plug length does not exceed what is termed the first critical length. In cases when the effect of die wall friction is neglected, the mean green density-initial powder length relation of the copper medium is obtained from a theoretical approximation based on energy of the medium for the compaction with the sum of the initial powder length and the plug length being constant. This relation indicates that the effect of elasticity of the plug is large as the plug length becomes large. The second critical plug length at which the effect of elasticity becomes balanced with the effect of die wall friction is established by this relation and by the previously computed density-length relation with the effect of die wall friction taken into account. More specifically, these two relations provide a relation involving the first and second critical-plug lengths. The relation inferred as such agrees qualitatively with the previous experimental data in the examined region of the initial powder length. This qualitative agreement suggests that if the effects of elasticity and die wall friction are considered, a satisfactory theoretical and experimental agreement could be obtained. Therefore, the mean green density-initial powder length relation is computed taking into account both the effects. The computed relation agrees quantitatively with the previous experimental data even for short initial powder lengths and long plug lengths.

Experiments were performed studying the formation of a dip on the surface of an initially stationary liquid draining from a cylindrical tank through an axisym-metrically placed circular orifice. Based upon the information obtained from the experiments, a simple analytical expression was derived predicting the height of the liquid surface in the tank at which this dip forms. A comparison was made between the experimental data and the results of the analysis and good agreement was found between theory and data.

An analytical expression for the second virial coefficient based on an exponent-spline-Morse-spline-van der Waals (ESMSV) potential is presented here for use in defining the thermodynamic properties of rare gases. Our method is established based on a series expansion of the exponential function, Meijer function, gamma function, binomial function, and hypergeometric function. Numerical approaches have commonly been used for the evaluation of the second virial coefficient with the ESMSV potential in the literature. The general formula obtained here can be applied to estimate the thermal properties of rare gases. Our results for the second virial coefficient based on the ESMSV potential of He-He, He-Ne, He-Ar, and He-Xe rare gases are compared with numerical calculations and experimental data, and it is shown that our analytical expression can be successfully used for other gases.

Experimental studies of collisional broadening and shift of the 535 nm thallium line perturbed by neon and argon were performed using a pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot interferometer. The 535 nm line was excited by irradiation of the thallium vapour with the resonance thallium line (377.68 nm). The present results are compared with previous experimental data obtained by different methods as well as with theoretical ones.
