Abstract: The distinction between profit measures for capital investment and methods of economic analysis for project selection is discussed. Various methods of analysis for the selection of alternatives without budget constraints ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic mass approach to the solution of dynamic problems in coupled fluid-cylindrical shells is reviewed; simplified equations for computing the hydrodynamic masses and for the subsequent ...

Abstract: An expression to calculate the buffeting response of a multispan tube bundle with nonconstant linear mass density is derived by generalizing Powell’s joint acceptance concept. Application of the ...

Abstract: The generalized hydrodynamic mass for the free vibration of two coaxial cylindrical shells coupled by a narrow fluid gap is derived by following a procedure similar to that mentioned in [1]; ...

Abstract: The dynamics of a system of two fluid-elastically coupled coaxial cylindrical shells is studied theoretically. The general equations of motion for free and forced-damped vibration are derived in ...

Abstract: The different techniques of assessing the flow-induced vibration problems of common power plant components are reviewed. The components are divided into categories of single cylinders, flat plates, ...

Abstract: This paper considers the free vibration of two coaxial cylinders with finite lengths immersed in a restricted fluid medium. The general coupled equations of motion are derived. Qualitative study ...

Abstract: The ownership arrangements for constructed facilities not only generate the capital and requirements for new facilities, but also influence the management of the construction and operation of these facilities. While it is ...

Abstract: This paper explores the effects of fiber orientation and ply mix on load–deformation behavior and failure modes of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete by testing under uniaxial compression a designed array of ...
