An Approach for the Analysis of Collapse Onset in Elastic Tube Flows
An experimental study conducted for the determination of the onset of collapse of an elastic tube of a Starling resistor conveying air is presented herein. The collapse was induced under the action of external pressure p e applied to the tube walls. The influence of length L , thickness h , and modu...
