Abstract: The governing system of differential equations for the linear problem of the transient interaction of plane acoustic waves and a submerged elastic cylindrical shell is transformed into a system ...

Abstract: The transient response of a system of two initially concentric circular cylindrical elastic shells coupled by an ideal fluid and impinged upon by an incident plane pressure pulse is studied. ...

Abstract: The transient response of a large elastic plate to the impact of an incident spherical pressure wave is studied. The interaction problem is formulated with the aid of the Laplace and Hankel ...

Abstract: A simple method is developed for determining the unsteady state phreatic surface in earth dams as a function of time. The method is useful for the stability analysis of temporary dams where the steady state seepage condition ...

Abstract: The first and second-order radiation conditions for scattering waves in two and three-dimensional problems have been derived by virtue of a sequence of linear differential operators. The wave ...

Abstract: Fracture toughness testing was conducted on compact tension specimens cut from the Fast Flux Test Facility primary piping materials of 16-8-2 and 308 stainless steel welds aged at 427 and ...

Abstract: The problems of plane acoustic waves acting on an interface between water and poroelastic seafloor of both infinite and finite thicknesses are studied. The analysis includes three frequencies of sound wave, 10 Hz,

Abstract: The problem of transient scattering of a plane step dilatational wave by a spherical cavity in an elastic medium is solved by a Laplace-transform-series-solution technique. The solution is ...

Abstract: Setup planning is an intermediate phase of process planning, and automating setup planning constitutes a critical component of computer-aided process planning. The common absence of a clearly ...
