Structural vibration is a widespread issue occurred in the field of civil engineering. The
passive energy dissipation devices are being increasingly popular for protecting structures …

Magnetorheological fluids involve multi-physics phenomena which are manifested by
interactions between structural mechanics, electromagnetism and rheological fluid flow. In …

Blood plasma has been considered a Newtonian fluid for decades. Recent experiments
(Brust et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 2013, 110) revealed that blood plasma has a pronounced …

A new scaling theory has appeared in the recent literature that has the potential to transform
current approaches to scaled experimentation. The new theory introduces new similitude …

Silicone fluids belong to the group of pseudoplastic non-Newtonian fluids with complex
rheological characteristics. They are considered in basic and applied researches and in a …

This paper presents a novel three-stage variable-dam**-coefficient viscous fluid damper
(VCVFD) and investigates its effectiveness in mitigating the seismic structural response. The …

The entrance length needed for pipe and channel flows to re-adjust from a uniform to a fully-
developed velocity profile is typically defined as the length required for the centreline …

A novel design of a magnetorheological (MR) damper is developed, fabricated, modeled,
and tested. The design includes some features that enhance the magnetic characteristics of …

Torsional vibration is the primary cause of engine crankshaft failure. Consequently, the
reduction of engine vibration is of paramount importance for the enhancement of automotive …

Scaled experimentation is an important experimental approach for the investigation of
complex systems. Unfortunately, scaling suffers scale effects, where changes in behaviour …
