On the Contact Problems of Inflated Cylindrical Membranes With a Life Raft as an Example
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The class of contact problems involving inflated cylindrical membranes is studied. It is shown that the governing equations can be reduced to quadratures provided that the contact stress is ...

Theoretical Solution for Thick Plate Resting on Pasternak Foundation by Symplectic Geometry Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the analogy of structural mechanics and optimal control, the theory of the Hamilton system can be applied in the analysis of problem solving using the theory of elasticity and in the solution of elliptic partial ...
Nonlinear Response of a Tropical Cyclone Vortex to Prescribed Eyewall Heating with and without Surface Friction in TCM4: Implications for Tropical Cyclone Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he recent debate on whether surface friction contributes positively or negatively to tropical cyclone (TC) intensification has been clarified based on two idealized numerical experiments, one without and the other with ...
Effect of Sediment Density on Bed‐Load Transport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experiments on transport by water of synthetic lightweight sediments of specific gravities,
Forecasting House Rental Levels: Analytical Rent Model versus Neural Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the need of a house rental model in Townsville, Australia. It then describes two models developed for predicting house rental levels. The first model is analytically built upon a priori selected variables ...
