Abstract: Transient response of an interfacial crack between two dissimilar elastic, orthotropic solids is investigated. The interfacial crack is excited by tractions suddenly applied on the crack surfaces. ...

Abstract: Dynamic stress intensity factors for an interfacial crack between two dissimilar elastic, fully anisotropic media are studied. The mathematical problem is reduced to three coupled singular integral ...

Abstract: An inverse model of an estuarine eutrophication model with eight state variables is developed. It provides a framework to estimate parameter values of the eutrophication model by assimilation of concentration data of these ...

Abstract: A procedure to calibrate an estuarine eutrophication model of the tidal Rappahannock River, a western tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, Va., using an inverse model is described. The inverse model using variational technique ...

Abstract: An estuarine frontal system was investigated with a series of numerical experiments using a 3D hydrodynamic model. The model results were confirmed with field observations and compared with theoretical analysis. Various ...

Abstract: Two normally intersecting cylinders under different internal pressures in each of the cylinders is solved analytically. The inclusion of nozzle fillet, insert plate and inner nozzle broadens the ...

Abstract: A formulation specifying the bottom shear stress boundary condition for an unsteady, tidal flow model is derived through theoretical analysis. The unsteady boundary layer equation is solved for the velocity distribution ...

Abstract: A simple theoretical model was applied to interpret the characteristics of an estuarine front that forms at the early stage of each flood tide off Newport News Point, in the lower James River, Virginia. The observed depths ...
