Influence of coal gangue-aeolian sand aggregate gradation on rheological properties and pipeline transportation characteristics of filling slurry by Bo Liu, Yaoping Zhang, Shixing Yang

“…To study the influence of aggregate gradation on the conveying performance of filler slurry, aggregate gradation experiments were carried out, rheological tests on slurries with coal gangue/aeolian sand ratios (6:4, 5:5 and 4:6) showed that appropriately increasing the proportion of aeolian sand can improve particle gradation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) scheme was used to simulate the pipeline transportation characteristics of the slurry under the conditions of three sets each of coal gangue/aeolian sand ratios, slurry concentrations (72%,74% and 76%), and inlet velocities (1.15,1.24 and 1.33 m/s). …”

Mechanical Parameters Effects on Acoustic Absorption at Polymer Foam by Lyes Dib, Samia Bouhedja, Hamza Amrani

“…When the skeleton is set to motion, it is necessary to use generalized Biot-Allard model which takes into account the deformation of the skeleton and the fluid and the interactions between them. The aim of this work is to study the quality of acoustic absorption in polyurethane foam and to show the importance of the structural vibration of this foam on the absorption by varying mechanical parameters (Young’s modulus E, Poisson’s coefficient ν, structural damping factor η, and the density ρ1). …”

Differential Diagnosis of Amniotic Band and Intrauterine Synechiae in Second Trimester Pregnancy: Case Report by Bekir Kahveci, Yasemin Dogan, Gaye Kahveci, Muhammet Hanifi Bademkiran

“…The floor of the intrauterine adhesions is widely and lateral of the uterine cavity and occurs from four layers while the amniotic band is a thin layer and forms fluctuations in the amniotic fluid. Amniotic bands may cause variable spectrum of congenital anomalies whereas intrauterine adhesions do not increase the probability of fetal anomaly because it is out of the amniotic cavity. …”

Experimental Study on Pullout Behavior of Coir Geotextiles Based on Transparent Soil by Liangyong Li, Houyang Li, Weiqiang Cao

“…The transparent soil is prepared by using fused quartz as the skeleton particle and the mixture of No. 15 industrial white oil and No. 3 industrial white oil as the pore fluid. The results show that the mechanical response of different pullout tests is basically similar, that is, with the increase in pullout displacement, the pullout force first increases rapidly, then slowly increases to the peak value, and then gradually decreases with the fluctuation. …”
