Abstract: Stability is examined with respect to the torque in the elastic element between motor and load in semi-definite systems exhibiting unstable self-excitation during start-up. Equations are provided ...

Abstract: Identification of outliers in flood records can be an important step in a robust flood frequency analysis procedure. Bulletin 17B includes the Grubbs-Beck test (with α=10%) as an objective criterion of whether the smallest ...

Abstract: Identification of

Abstract: Synthetic hydrologic forecasts are often needed to evaluate water resources planning and management strategies when appropriate historical forecasts are not available. Synthetic forecasts can be generated to evaluate system ...

Abstract: The author has found a class of entry velocity profiles that develop into the Raithby fully developed second solution for flow in a parallel porous plate channel with strong suction. The entry ...

Abstract: Milne-Thomson’s circle theorem is used to study the characteristics of the two-dimensional irrotational flow around a horizontal cylinder under long-crested waves. Even when the cylinder diameter ...

Abstract: An exact solution for the natural frequencies of vibration of a finite length free-free beam with a circular cross section is found and compared to approximate solutions. This exact solution ...

Abstract: Based on the continuous plane-strain deformation of an isotropic, frictional, cohesive, compressible solid, a rolling theory for granular solids has been developed. The pressure exerted by the ...

Abstract: A series solution of the general three-dimensional equations of linear elasticity is developed and used to find accurate natural frequencies for the vibrations of solid elastic cylinders with ...
