Abstract: A simple semi-empirical model for predicting the peak overpressure field that results when a shock emerges from a circular shock tube is presented and validated. By assuming that the shape of ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic stresses arising from a moving band source of heat on the surface of a semi-infinite solid have been calculated using well-known temperature solutions and a finite element stress ...

Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for the steady-periodic shape variation of a thin elastic beam subject to fluid mechanic forces and driven by the motion imposed on its ends. The general ...
