Abstract: The work of this paper deals with the coupled bending–bending vibration of pre-twisted tapered cantilever blades. The equations of motion are established for a beam tapered in width (or depth) ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia on the frequencies of flexural vibration of pre-twisted and non-pre-twisted uniform and tapered cantilever beams. The ...

Abstract: Spectral techniques applied to altimetry data are used to examine the dispersion relation and meridional sea level structure of wavelike variability with periods of about 20 to 200 days in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. ...

Abstract: ropical instability waves are triggered by instabilities of the equatorial current systems, and their sea level signal, with peak amplitude near 5°N, is one of the most prominent features of the dynamic topography of the ...

Abstract: A thermal model was needed to predict temperatures in a perfused tissue, which satisfied the following three criteria. One, the model satisfied conservation of energy. Two, the heat transfer ...

Abstract: The static undrained behavior of saturated sand is shown to be dilative in triaxial compression, even in the loosest deposited state. However, the behavior in triaxial extension is contractive for relative densities of up ...

Abstract: A Finite Element model is developed for the stability analysis of Timoshenko beam subjected to periodic axial loads. The effect of the shear deformation on the static buckling loads is studied ...

Abstract: A study is reported of predicted flat-plate photovoltaic output in Southern Nevada, and this output is compared to the time variation of the electrical utility load for this area. Included in ...
