The present paper is devoted to the modeling method based on an averaging approach for thermal analysis of microchannel heat sinks subjected to the uniform wall temperature condition. Solutions for velocity and temperature distributions are presented using the averaging approach. When the aspect ratio of the microchannel is higher than 1, these solutions accurately evaluate thermal resistances of heat sinks. Asymptotic solutions for velocity and temperature distributions at the high-aspect-ratio limit are alsopresented by using the scale analysis. Asymptotic solutions are simple, but shown to predict thermal resistances accurately when the aspect ratio is higher than 10. The effects of the aspect ratio and the porosity on the friction factor and the Nusselt number are presented. Characteristics of the thermal resistance of microchannel heat sinks are also discussed.

In this study, finite element analysis for multi-stage deep drawing process of rectangular configuration with extreme aspect ratio is carried out especially for the blank design. The analysis of rectangular deep drawing process with extreme aspect ratio is likewise very difficult with respect to the design process parameters including the intermediate die profile. In order to solve the difficulties, numerical approach using finite element method is performed in the present analysis and design. A series of experiments for multi-stage rectangular deep drawing process are conducted and the deformed configuration is investigated by comparing with the results of the finite element analysis. Additionally, to minimize amount of removal material after trimming process, finite element simulation is applied for the blank modification. The analysis incorporates brick elements for a rigid-plastic finite element method with an explicit time integration scheme using LS-DYNA3D.

This paper presents the experimental study of nine pieces of reinforced concrete (RC) short columns. RC short columns were tested with cyclic loading with displacement control under the influence of constant axial load with load index of 0.2. Three columns within the tested nine columns are reference columns which have the details of the reinforcement given in the modern regulations and six of them are 150 mm and 100 mm externally collared columns. In addition to the parameter of the collar spacing, aspect ratio (as=2-1.5-1) is also considered as a parameter. The data obtained from experimental results have shown that externally collar contributes significantly to increasing the shear resistance of RC short columns and limiting the shear dominant behavior. It has been observed that the effectiveness of the externally collar increases with the decrease of the aspect ratio.

Wall flush mounted injector with various orifice shape and injection conditions, were examined to enhance jet penetration and mixing in supersonic cross flow, in view of application to air-breathing accelerator vehicle. Orifice shapes with high aspect ratio were found to preferable for better penetration in the cold flow, and in the reacting flow for scramjet-mode combustion conditions. However, the effectiveness of the high aspect ratio was diminished in the dual-mode combustion conditions. Supersonic injection was applied to the high aspect ratio orifice, and further increase in penetration was observed in the cold and reactive flow for scramjet-mode combustion conditions, however, mixing enhancement due to mixing layer / pseudo-shock wave system interaction was dominant in the dual-mode combustion conditions. Difficulty in attaining ignition in the case with the high aspect ratio orifice was encountered during the combustion tests.

The purpose of this research is to study the seismic behavior of interior column-slab connections with different column aspect ratio, when subjected to combined gravity and cyclic lateral loading. The control specimen had square column, while the other specimens had rectangular column with aspect ratio of 0.5 and 2.0. From the test results, all of the specimens sustain lateral drifts as high as 4% with no more than a 20% decrease in peak lateral load capacity. And it appears that KBC Code(2005) procedure may be unconservative for connections with different column aspect ratio.

In general, the shear behavior mode of URM wall expresses four types of modes such as rocking failure, sliding shear failure, toe crushing failure, and diagonal tension failure. From the comparison of each equation according to the shear behavior modes, the failure modes based on the aspect ratio and vertical axial stress can be expected. The objectives of this study is to find out the shear behavior of URM wall with different aspect ratio. The test results show that the aspect ratio is understood as an important variable.

The continuing demand for increasingly slimmer and brighter liquid crystal display(LCD) panels has led to an increased focus on the role of the light guide panels(LGPs) or optical films that are used to obtain diffuse, uniform light from the backlight unit(BLU). And the most basic process in the production of such BLU components is the micromachining. LCD BLUs comprise various optical elements such as a LGP, diffuser sheet, prism sheet, and protector sheet with micro patterns. High aspect ratio patterns are required to reduce the number of sheets and enhance light efficiency, but there is a limit to the aspect ratio achievable for a given material and cutting tool. Therefore, this study comprised a series of experimental evaluations conducted to determine the machining feasibility in microcutting various aspect ratio patterns on electroless nickel plated die materials when using single-crystal diamond tools. Cutting performance was evaluated at various cutting speeds and depths of cut using different machining methods and machine tools.

Free transverse vibration of shear deformable super-elliptical plates with uniform thickness was studied based on Mindlin plate theory using finite element method. Quadrilateral isoparametric elements were used in the paper. Sensitivity analysis was made to determine the influence of the thickness, the aspect ratio, and the shape of the plate on the natural frequency. Accuracy of the results computed in the current study was validated by comparing them with the solutions available in the literature. The results reveal that the frequencies of clamped super-elliptical plates lie in the range bounded by elliptical and rectangular plates irrespective of the aspect ratio, and furthermore, the frequency decreases if the super-elliptical power increases. A similar trend was observed for simply supported plates with high aspect ratio. The free vibration response for the first and the second symmetric-antisymmetric (SA) modes were found to be different for high aspect ratio. The results reveal that using insufficient number of degrees of freedom results in finding a totally different relation between the super-elliptical power and the frequency.

A series of numerical simulation has been carried out to study thermo-hydraulic characteristics of a primary surface type heat exchanger, which is designed for the evaporator and condenser of a geothermal ORC. Working fluid is geothermal water at hot side and R-245fa, which is a refrigerant designed for ORC, at cold side. Aspect ratio of the channel and Reynolds number are considered as design parameters. Nusselt number is presented for the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 150 and compared to existing correlations. The result shows that higher aspect ratio channel gives better heat transfer performance within the range of investigation.

In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fires was investigated with various aspect ratio(0.5, 0.667, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) of tunnel cross section. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using 8.27 kW ethanol pool fire. Temperatures were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel. Smoke front velocity and temperature decrease rate were reduced as higher aspect ratio of the tunnel cross-section. Smoke movement was evaluated by analysis of vertical temperature distribution 3 m downstream from the fire source. Elevation of smoke interface according to N percent rule was under about 60% of tunnel height.
