A Numerical Study of Initiation and Migration of Trapped Oil in Capillaries with Noncircular Cross Sections by Long Long, Yajun Li, Houjian Gong, Mingzhe Dong

“…In this study, capillaries with three different cross sections were used to investigate the deformation law of oil and the pressure drop across these microchannels at different displacement velocities by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The geometrical structure of the microchannels was precisely controlled, and the migration process of the oil, which is too small to be observed by direct experimentation, was assessed and quantitatively analyzed. …”

Integral Method for Determining the Stress State of an Anisotropic Reinforced Concrete Shell by Eugene M. Zveryaev

“…The equilibrium equations of the moment theory in forces and moments, geometric equations, components of tangential deformation and displacement, and the physical equations of state connecting them, expressing forces and moments through the components of deformation, are presented, since the characteristics of the stress-strain state of the shell depend not only on the variability of external influences and forces, but also on the length of the structure. The provisions laid down in the article shall be retained in the case of casings made of anisotropic material, provided that the presented elastic ratio is met. …”
