Abstract: The virtual mass effect of a liquid annulus surrounding a shell is established in closed form. Simple support conditions for the shell and open end conditions for the liquid annulus are ...

Abstract: Although the St. Lawrence River has long been recognized as a great economical source of water power, its development has been delayed until now for many reasons. The major obstacle has been ...

Abstract: The solution is obtained for the plane strain problem of a semi-infinite elastic strip whose end is bonded to and pressed against an infinite elastic strip. The infinite strip is supported ...

Abstract: about 40 lbs. of thrust. The same concentrator concept is contemplated for space power application—to focus solar radiation on a conversion device, e.g., a photovoltaic array or the high temperature end of a dynamic...

Abstract: An approximate solution is found for a regular pyramidal punch indenting, without friction, an elastic half-space. The method is based on the reasonable assumption of the stress distribution and ...

Abstract: Two homogeneous and isotropic elastic half-spaces are acted upon by remote normal and shear tractions. The applied shear stress is less than that which is required to produce overall sliding ...

Abstract: The steady sliding of a flat half-space against a rigid surface with a constant interfacial coefficient of friction is investigated. It is shown here that steady sliding is compatible with the ...

Abstract: The measurement of the radial wind velocity component in sodar systems is generally carried out by application of the first moment integral to the spectrum of the received echoes. In unfavorable signal-to-noise conditions ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study on the turbulent lubricant film is: 1 To give a brief outline of a new theory called bulk-flow theory; 2 To investigate to what extent results of theories based ...
