Abstract: A brief discussion is presented of the lasting effects of some of thefluid mechanics contributions of Dr. Hunter Rouse on the design of hydraulic structures including an early study at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Abstract: The use of the plasticity theory offers an attractive framework to encapsulate the behavior of a pipe and the underlying soil in terminology consistent with pipeline structural analysis. Models that express the pipe-soil ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a three-dimensional consolidation problem through experimentation in a geotechnical centrifuge. During a discontinuous footing installation, which is typical for mobile offshore drilling rigs, periods ...

Abstract: This paper presents three plasticity models that can be applied to numerically simulate pipe–soil interaction. They can be applied individually to evaluate the force–displacement response of a small plane-strain pipe section ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the spatial variability of random soil affects the failure mechanism and the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations buried at various depths. A nonlinear finite-element ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic behavior of a simple pneumatic pressure reducer. Both the nonlinear and the linearized problems were studied. Some experimental results also were ...
