The total strain energy release rate (SERR), calculated by the modified virtual crack closure technique (VCCT), is used to evaluate the mix-mode fracture toughness of the damaged structure and further to estimate the efficiency of patch repair.
The parameter IM (mixing intensity) was used to evaluate the mixing performance.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mixing characteristics of a new milliliter-scale (mL-scale) reactor developed for studying enzymatic activity or physiological cell response.
The improved criterion can accurately evaluate the mixed-mode delamination with the effect of fiber bridging in a cost and time effective way, is convenient for applications.
The dynamic measurement of pressure drop was used to evaluate the mixing dynamics in the NETmix chambers and, above the critical Reynolds number, the natural oscillation frequency was quantified.
A higher-Reynolds-number test case is anticipated to be more appropriate to evaluate the mixing models, and stand-alone transported PDF simulations are required to more fully enforce localness and to assess model performance.
This review analyzes and presents different methods to evaluate the mixing in a digester (chemical and radioactive tracers and laboratory analysis), tools for digester design (computational fluid dynamics and kinetic modeling) and current research on the effects of mixing on the anaerobic digestion process.
A qualitative description of the fluid motion due to the generation of gas bubbles and quantitative identification of the flow fields of the liquid phase were made to compare the four mixing designs, in which the average velocity and a uniformity index for velocity were used to evaluate the mixing performance for each design.
As such, it is critical to evaluate the Advera mix at appropriate curing time.
Managers must also continue to evaluate the desired mix of cash, restricted stock, shadow stock, options and other such incentives needed to attract executive talent.
In an attempt to evaluate the case mix, preoperative radiographs were studied and classified according to Ahlbäck at Saint Göran's Hospital in Stockholm.
