Abstract: Formulas proposed to date for calculating ultimate scour depth under jets, such as issue from free dam overfalls and flip buckets, are examined. The accuracies of the formulas are evaluated by using each to process sets ...

Abstract: The elastodynamic response of an infinite orthotropic material with a finite crack under concentrated in-plane shear loads is examined. A solution for the stress intensity factor history around ...

Abstract: A discipline of nonlinear dynamics (Chaos Theory), not traditionally used in the study of solder, is applied here in developing a conjectured general form for fatigue based on creep. Solder ...

Abstract: In spinal vertebral burst fractures, the dynamic properties of the trabecular centrum, which is the central region of porous bone inside the vertebra, can play an important role in determining ...
