Abstract: A matched asymptotic expansion analysis is used to determine the dependence of shear stress boundary layer thickness on adhesive properties in unbalanced single-lap joints. A uniformly accurate expansion of shear stress, ...

Abstract: A multiple scales asymptotic analysis is developed to describe the attenuation of a water hammer pressure wave initiated by a time-varying valve closure. The analytical results expose a simple rule-of-thumb relationship ...

Abstract: The authors scale the five-mode model introduced by Lorenz and Krishnamurthy and show how explicit solutions may be obtained in the limit of small Rossby number by using the method of multiple scales. They thus obtain a ...
