Abstract: The equations of motion of a linear elastic solid have been used to study the propagation of transient compressional disturbances in anisotropic plates, generated by several types of surface ...

Abstract: The problem treated is that of an infinite free plate with a circular cylindrical cavity subjected to a step normal displacement. The linear equations of elasticity are employed and the formal ...

Abstract: Factors affecting the nitrification rate in post‐secondary water hyacinth treatment systems are investigated. Parameters studied include ammonia concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration, and system mixing. The ...

Abstract: The flow-acoustic nature of sharp-edged T-junctions is investigated experimentally. In this paper, the pipes forming the T-crossbar are referred to as the branches and the pipe forming the central ...

Abstract: The effect of functionally graded materials (FGMs) on resonances of bending shafts under time-dependent axial loading is investigated. The axial load is taken to be a sinusoidal function of ...

Abstract: This paper describes a simple model for the desorption and transport of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) to subsurface drains. The model assumes first-order kinetically rate-limited desorption in a soil surface mixing ...

Abstract: A theoretical and computational model to study the dynamics of a radially rotating beam with impact were presented in Part 1. In this paper the experimental results are presented and they are ...

Abstract: A model is presented for the dynamics of a radially rotating beam with impact. The model uses a momentum balance method and a coefficient of restitution, and enables one to predict the rigid ...
