Abstract: A method is developed for measuring the breathing wave speed in a towed array. The front of the array is longitudinally vibrated, producing aft-traveling wave energy that is detected by measuring ...

Abstract: The magnitude of the electro-optical Kerr effect in the atmosphere is assessed with an eye toward employing it in the measurement of humidity and electric fields. For various conditions, the birefringence of air is computed ...

Abstract: This paper develops a higherorder shear deformation model of a periodically sectioned plate. A parabolic deformation expression is used with periodic analysis methods to calculate the displacement field as a function of ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented to analyze and price the risk from engineering or construction contracts involving hazardous‐waste projects. The procedure is based upon using a newly developed computation to assign a defined ...

Abstract: The technique to price the risk of liability cost from hazardous‐waste projects, engineering or construction of disposal facilities, or cleanup of contaminated sites, is refined and expanded. The price of the hazardous‐waste ...

Abstract: A technique is described for simulating the development of particles in a storm when data on the internal composition and wind-field structures are available. Simulations such as these can be used to investigate particle ...

Abstract: The measured drag forces on cylinders and disks obtained by Jayaweera and Cottis and by Kajikawa are compared with those computed for Stokes flow around equivalent spheroids. For both the disks and cylinders, comparisons ...
