Abstract: Bed-load sediment transport is important yet difficult to measure in large, sand-bed rivers. Prior work established in theory and validated in a flume study a method known as integrated section surface difference over time ...

Abstract: Sand infiltration into gravel frameworks poses significant engineering and ecological difficulties. Ten flume experiments were conducted to quantify a sand bridging threshold in a static gravel bed. The

Abstract: Advances in bathymetric data acquisition have made it possible to explore alternative methods for measuring bed-load transport in rivers. The method validated herein consists of measuring rates of bed scour by using ...

Abstract: Soft tissues exhibit complex viscoelastic behavior, including strain-rate dependence, hysteresis, and strain-dependent relaxation. In this paper, a model for soft tissue viscoelasticity is developed that captures all of ...
