Abstract: Three-dimensional water waves are incident upon a pair of semi-infinite parallel vertical thin barriers. Assuming that the opening between the barriers is small compared with the incident wavelength, ...

Abstract: The wave‐induced seepage flow in a porous seabed in the neighborhood of a gravity structure is solved exactly by two‐dimensional potential flow theory. The distribution of the hydrodynamic pore‐water pressure along the ...

Abstract: Diffraction of solitary waves by a semi‐infinite thin barrier is studied both theoretically and experimentally. A theoretical solution is developed based on the linear shallow water wave theory. The linear wave theory ...

Abstract: The effects of laminar viscosity on the evolution of a steady Stokes wave train are investigated by employing a boundary‐layer method. It is assumed that the nonlinearity of the second order in the wave slope,

Abstract: This paper discusses the effects of sheave groove shape, sheave diameter, and line tension on the frictional hold of polyester rope. A series of tests were conducted using five different ...

Abstract: To determine the role of the reinforcement on the mechanics of crack arrest and residual strength of reinforced flat panels, both analytical and experimental work was conducted. Fracture tests ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional growth characteristics of corner cracks emanating from an open hole were demonstrated by conducting constant amplitude cyclic crack growth tests on a set of 51 specimens. The ...

Abstract: A formulation of a graph problem for scheduling parallel computations of multibody dynamic analysis is presented. The complexity of scheduling parallel computations for a multibody dynamic analysis ...
