The presented paper is devoted to studying the dynein molecular motor and its stochastic description. The model aims to obtain good results comparable to literature sources qualitatively. We choose the Hoover-Holian oscillator to describe the dynein behaviour of each of its legs. It...

Since the rotor blade system of an horizontal axis wind turbine is responsible for converting wind energy into mechanical, which turns into electrical and predicting its dynamic behavior is of vital importance. In that sense, this paper deals with performing a modal analysis of...

This paper presents a discussion on the properties of the collocation meshfree method, the Updated Lagrangian Taylor-SPH (UL-TSPH), for dynamic problems in solid mechanics. The PDEs are written in mixed form in terms of stress and velocity for the elastodynamics problems. Two sets ...

Traditional engineeringmodels for addressing fatigue issues are based on empirical relations between the necessary number of cycles for fatigue failures $N_f$ and either, the nominal stress $\sigma_{an}$ or the local strain $\epsilon_a$ amplitudes. The aim of the present paper is to...

The present study applies the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method to a numerical simulation of a compressible fluid flow through a labyrinth seal. This paper is proposes a curvilinear hexahedral element, which is deformed in such a way that it matches the rotated walls...
