OPTIMAL AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS METHOD FOR THIN FILM FLOW OF A FOURTH GRADE FLUID DOWN A VERTICAL CYLINDER
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2017, Vol 62, Issue 2
Abstract
A new approximate analytical procedure namely the Optimal Auxiliary Functions Method (OAFM) is proposed and has been applied to thin film flow of a fourth grade fluid down a vertical cylinder. The main advantage of our approach consists in providing a convenient way to control the convergence of the approximate solution in a very rigorous way. This methods, however, does not depend upon any small or large parameters in comparison with other methods. A very good agreement was found between approximate and numerical solution which reveals that OAFM is more effective, very efficient, accurate and easy to use.

HYSTERESIS IN THE SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS
This paper discusses the hysteretic behaviour of a shape memory strip under uniaxial tension. The generalized play hysteresis operator is coupled with the exponential evolution law of 1D constitutive model of the shape m...
INVERSE DYNAMICS OF THE CINCINNATI-MILACRON WRIST ROBOT
Recursive matrix relations in dynamics of the Cincinnati-Milacron wrist robot are established in this paper. The prototype of this mechanism is a three-degrees-of freedom spherical system with six moving links and three...
MOTION RECOVERY OF PARALLEL MANIPULATORS USING GENERALIZED INVERSE AND PARTITIONED JACOBIAN MATRIX
In this paper, the motion recovery of parallel manipulators due to joint failure is addressed. The failed joints have either zero velocities, locked joints, or nonzero velocities which are different from the desired velo...

INCREMENTAL NUMERICAL METHOD USED FOR THE KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE FOUR-BAR LINKAGE MECHANISM
Kinematics deals with the study of geometrics aspects of the movement without taking into consideration the mass of the rigid solids (their inertia) and neither the causes that provoked the movement namely the forces. Th...
