Generally
diesel engine uses only the heat of compressed air to ignite the fuel as it is
injected into combustion chamber. But in low temperatures the colder air will
make it a bit harder to start the engine than hot air and it can overcome by installing
spark plugs which are essentially very small, but powerful heaters in the
combustion chamber.i want to discuss about the general working of diesel
engine in low temperatures and the changes should be made to work more
efficiently.

WIND TURBINES

The laboratory for fluid structure interaction (LIFE) at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Tarragona, Spain is looking for a PhD cadidate. The student will work in a project involving fluid-structure interaction in offshore engineering with applications to wind energy and the dynamics of offshore structures.

More information can be seen in the attached PDF or in http://www.etseq.urv.es/life/.

User subroutines in ABAQUS

I would like to use Dflux to give a Temperature and dT/dt related heat flux. Can Dflux be used for this purpose? I am not sure how to get dT/dt ? Or other subroutine can fulfill this purpose?

Thank you

Bulge test at nano-scale: The surface effects

Submitted by tongqing.lu on Fri, 08/16/2013 - 14:49

Bulge test is an effective technique to measure the mechanical properties of thin films. As the membrane size decreases to nano-scale, the surface effect plays a significant role in determining the mechanical behavior of the membrane, and the techniques commonly used to measure the bulk materials properties are not applicable. We explore the surface effect on the nano-scale bulge test using combined continuum theories and atomistic simulations. We formulate the load-deflection relation by incorporating the surface effect and analyze its size-dependent behavior. The present theoretical model is in quantitative agreement with the molecular dynamics simulations.

Challenge of Biomechanics

Submitted by Konstantin Volokh on Thu, 08/15/2013 - 12:25

opinion

biomechanics

The application of mechanics to biology
– biomechanics – bears great challenges due to the intricacy of living things.
Their dynamism, along with the complexity of their mechanical response (which
in itself involves complex chemical, electrical, and thermal phenomena) makes
it very difficult to correlate empirical data with theoretical models. This
difficulty elevates the importance of useful biomechanical theories compared to
other fields of engineering. Despite inherent imperfections of all theories, a
