Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the geometric dispersion of transient stress waves in a linearly elastic laminated composite. The loading is a uniform pressure of step-function ...

Abstract: Transient stress-wave experiments on laminated composites are described, and the results are compared with theoretical predictions. The composites are laminated from alternating layers of high and ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the current state-of-the-art in scale modeling of liquefied natural gas sloshing in ship tanks. The numerous potentially significant scaling parameters are ...
