Abstract: Elastic solutions of a rotating solid disk made of cubic anisotropic material are obtained using direct displacement method. Displacement, strain, and stress distributions within the disk are ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an observational study related to the behavior of drainage sewers under conditions of hydraulic overloading. Specifically, the investigation focuses on the interaction of water and trapped ...

Abstract: The pressure within a trapped air pocket in a rapidly filling horizontal pipe is investigated both experimentally and analytically. The downstream end of the pipe is either sealed to form a dead end or outfitted with an ...

Abstract: The parametric approach to eliminating the temperature-caused modal variability in vibration-based structural damage detection requires a correlation model between the modal properties and environmental temperatures. This ...

Abstract: False-positive or false-negative damage may be signaled by vibration-based structural damage detection methods when the environmental effects on the changes of dynamic characteristics of a structure are not accounted for ...

Abstract: The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of latticework coolant blade passages have been investigated experimentally under conditions of rotation. Stationary studies with the latticework ...
