Fluid dynamic design of an axial rotor for hydrokinetic riverbed turbine-improvement introduced by a high lift foil profile
(2016-07)
Article
Open AccessThe main objective of this article is to achieve a very high lift rotor to take the maximum advantage of the kinetic energy of a slow velocity water flow, which belongs to a lowland river type. Low speed flux and lack of ... -
Formulation of solid-shell finite elements with large displacements considering different transverse shear strains approximations
(2017-08)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a general formulation and implementation in solid-shell elements of the refined zigzag theory and the trigonometric shear deformation theory in an unified way. The model thus conceived is aimed for use ... -
Numerical study of vibrations induced by traffic in structures and a screen alternative for its mitigation
(2019-12)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of traffic vibrations on buildings is of special interest as its sources have multiplied becoming a concern for residents or for those who work, visit or preserve buildings of heritage value. The problem has ... -
On the analysis of non-homogeneous laminates using the refined zigzag theory
(2018-11-15)
Article
Open AccessThis work shows possibilities and limitations of the refined zigzag theory (RZT) that has been used in different structural (beam, plate and shell) finite elements. The refined zigzag theory can deal with composite laminates, ... -
The usability of the Selig S1223 profile airfoil as a high lift hydrofoil for hydrokinetic application
(2016-07)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a numerical analysis of the ability of the high lift airfoil profile Selig S1223 for working as hydrofoil under water conditions. The geometry of the hydrofoil blade is designed through a suitable airfoil ...
