In the suspension polymerization of VCM, insoluble polymer particles are formed inside the monomer droplets. The growth and aggregation of these particles are responsible for important polymer properties, such as porosity. ...

The referential-description, spatial-description, and relative-description formulations in the finite-element approach to continuum-mechanics problems are reviewed and developed. Explicit final incremental equilibrium ...

A plasticity theory for porous metals is proposed. A simple model of a porous materials is analysed by the finite element method. Small strain elastic–plastic analysis provides stress–strain curves, yield stressed and ...

A concise survey of formulation methods of geometric and material nonlinearity problems is given. Differences between existing formulations in the literature are discussed. A consistent Lagrangian and updated Lagrangian ...

This short paper explores the suspension of food particles in larval rearing tanks and is concerned in particular with optimum aeration rates for a variety of tank designs and sizes, ranging form 5–1800 litres in volume ...
