Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of nonlinearities on the dynamics of flat panels in supersonic flow and presents new bifurcation results for a fairly general nonlinear aeroelastic system. The method of normal forms, ...

Abstract: Pilot-scale ground-water treatability studies were performed at the former Nebraska Ordnance Plant site near Mead, Nebr. Ground water at the former Nebraska Ordnance Plant is contaminated by trichloroethene (TCE) and ...

Abstract: A combined experimental-numerical approach was adopted to characterize glucose and oxygen uptake and lactate production by bovine articular chondrocytes in a model system. For a wide range of ...

Abstract: The study objectives were to quantify the time- and magnitude-dependence of flow-induced alignment in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and to identify pathways related to the orientation process. ...

Abstract: Appropriate sediment management is required to improve the lifespan and productivity of reservoirs. Flushing operations to release part of the trapped sediment have therefore become increasingly common in practice. However, ...

Abstract: The solder joint reliability of five different surface mount connectors has been studied by eleven different experimental methods. A set of test methods and specifications for determining the ...

Abstract: On-site wastewater treatment systems can contribute to the oversupply of phosphorus (P) to aquatic systems which represents a key factor for the development of eutrophic conditions and associated environmental issues, such ...
