Abstract: The transient response of a laminated composite is treated. The effects of quadratic and cubic nonlinearity in the stress-strain law and reflections at interfaces are included.

Abstract: An evaluation of wave-induced soil response is particularly important for marine geotechnical engineers involved in the design of foundations for offshore structures. To simplify the mathematical ...

Abstract: Conventional investigations of the wave-seabed interaction have assumed that the seabed has an uniform permeability. However, the soil permeability in most marine sediments varies with burial depth due to consolidation ...

Abstract: In this note, a simplified analytical approximation for the elevation of the wave-induced pore pressure buildup mechanism in marine sediments is derived using a Laplace transformation. In this study, an infinite seabed is ...

Abstract: We consider a gas-filled tube into which there is an input of energy due to a pressure sensitive heat source. The system is linearly unstable to perturbations about the initial equilibrium ...
