Abstract: The problem of symmetric stability is examined within the context of the direct Liapunov method. The sufficient conditions for stability derived by Fj?rtoft are shown to imply finite-amplitude, normed stability. This ...

Abstract: The influence of eddies on crystal orientation has been examined. Extrapolation of experimental determinations of the power spectrum of eddies in turbulent clouds indicates that turbulence is unable to destroy the preferred ...

Abstract: Extended dry storage of spent nuclear fuel makes it desirable to assess the structural integrity of the storage canisters. Stress corrosion cracking of the stainless steel canister is a potential degradation mode especially ...
