Abstract: In this paper, with the aid of approximate Taylor’s expansions for mean and standard deviation, a general method for estimating fatigue reliability of a machine element under a combined state ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical transient solution to the subsonic flow near the stagnation region of a sphere which starts impulsively at a constant supersonic speed. The analysis is based ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for computing the motion and decay of a large dusty, buoyant thermal (cloud) carried by a vortex ring generated from a strong near ground explosion and ascending ...

Abstract: A mathematical model for water and sediment routing through curved alluvial channels is developed and applied in a case study. This model, which is for alluvial streams with nonerodible banks, may be employed to simulate ...

Abstract: A method for predicting river channel's adjustments of equilibrium is presented and illustrated by examples. This method is based upon the quantitative relationships among the variables of water discharge, bed‐material ...

Abstract: The regime geometry and channel patterns of alluvial rivers are analyzed Wing an energy approach together with physical relationships of flow continuity, flow resistance, and sediment transport. Because of the discontinuity ...
