Abstract: A 3D analytic solution is presented for tides in channels with arbitrary lateral depth variation. The solution is valid for narrow channels in which the lateral variation of the amplitude of tidal elevation is small. The ...

Abstract: The prepeak and postpeak stress‐displacement relations are derived for the bridging mechanism associated with randomly oriented discontinuous flexible fibers in cement‐based composites. The postcrack strength and fracture ...

Abstract: This brief paper addresses the application of the J-integral to fracture analysis and toughness characterization of quasi-brittle materials, with specific focus on the tension-softening behavior in the fracture process ...

Abstract: Experimental results of flutter derivatives for sectional models of long-span bridges are presented. The tests were carried out in the Water Channel Laboratory of the Center for Applied Stochastics Research of Florida ...

Abstract: A circular stress function is used for the steady rolling contact of two cylinders. Each cylinder has an elastic layer bonded to a hard core, and an elastic thin sheet is compressed in the ...

Abstract: An approximate solution is presented for the deflection of a thin plate and for the stresses and deformation of a layered circular cylinder in which the plate is pressed against the layered ...

Abstract: It is accepted practice to test field‐cast cylinders in the laboratory under control conditions, then assume that the determined strength is representative of the compressive strength of the concrete in the structure itself. ...
