Abstract: Breakup ice jams form suddenly and with little warning. The lack of forewarning hinders emergency response and ice jam mitigation efforts. Present knowledge of breakup jam processes does not allow for the development of a ...

Abstract: Data are presented for the flow of deionized water solutions of linear, unbranched polymers—Separan AP-30, Polyox WSR-35 and Polyox WSR-301, and mixtures of the latter two in a 0.0235 in. tube. ...

Abstract: Timoshenko beam theory is used to model a flexible slewing link with an attached payload using two different rotating frames of reference: pseudo-pinned and pseudo-clamped. The boundary conditions ...

Abstract: The rotary magnetic heat pump has attractive thermodynamic performance, but it is strongly influenced by the effectiveness of the regenerator. This study uses local entropy generation analysis ...

Abstract: The bulk specific gravity

Abstract: The equations of motion and boundary conditions for a free-free Timoshenko beam with rigid bodies attached at the endpoints are derived. The natural boundary conditions, for an end that has ...

Abstract: In areas where damaging spring breakup ice jams are recurring events, advance mitigation measures should be considered. One mitigation measure that might be used in advance of ice breakup is aerial dusting of the ice, which ...

Abstract: The impact of dam removal on the ice regime of northern rivers has largely been ignored in the recent push for removal of dams to restore or improve aquatic habitat. However, dam removal may have significant impacts on the ...

Abstract: Long-term pavement performance in wet climates is directly related to the amount, extent, and duration of internal moisture. Retention of moisture in base/subbase layers can lead to damage and premature failure of the ...
